Hi!
I have used the Korg 05R/r (moduleversion of X5) to do the same thing,
complete with random on thepitch. However I have never thought about
using the other scales. Butit sounds like a really good idea. Just
one thing; the scales are aglobal property, so a change of the scale
will affect all programs andcombis, right? Not too convenient if you
also use other sounds thatthose deliberately tuned weird as I do.
Apart from my X5otrons, Ialso have a pretty cool Rhodes sound – incl.
tremolo and slightdistortion - a CP80 electric grand, a symphonizer,
and many others like thesethat I use a lot. Even a Cantebury fuzz organ!
Then, I use an ancient Win95laptop to control my patches, and maybe
this is enough to changescaling flexibly enough.
Would you like to exchangepatches? I would love to hear your stab at
tron sounds on the mighty KorgX5.
