-Scala is a powerful software tool for experimentation with musical tunings,
-such as just intonation scales, equal and historical temperaments, microtonal
-and macrotonal scales, and non-Western scales. It supports scale creation,
-editing, comparison, analysis, storage, tuning of electronic instruments,
-and MIDI file generation and tuning conversion. All this is integrated into
-a single application with a wide variety of mathematical routines and scale
-creation methods. Scala is ideal for the exploration of tunings and becoming
-familiar with the concepts involved. In addition, a very large library of
-scales is freely available for Scala and can be used for analysis or music
-creation.
-
-Great care has been taken to make Scala's functions and operations very
-general. The range of parameter values that commands accept is made as wide
-as possible. Often various forms of input are allowed. No arbitrary
-restrictions are made. Scales are stored in a flexible format. Intervals can
-be entered and saved as either ratios or in cents and be intermixed within
-a single scale.
-
-Constructing scales from scratch is one of Scala's strengths. The kinds of
-scales that can be made with Scala include: equal temperaments, Pythagorean
-(meantone) scales, Euler-Fokker genera, Fokker periodicity blocks, harmonic
-scales, Partch diamonds and Wilson combination product sets. In addition,
-a set of command files is included to build other kinds of scales such as
-triadic scales, circular mirrorings, circulating temperaments, etc., and to
-serve as examples.
