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.
