Hello ,
The MIDI wavetable editor software, i am going to release for the
Quantix8 module , automaticaly compute almost any kind of quantised
scales and transmit them to MIDI ... Scales are also tweakable with many
math/synth functions ... If Paul share MIDI codes to feed the Quad
Quantizer , i can write a dedicaced software or add more features to the
existing one, it is not really a problem :)
Cheers,
Marc B.
