Alternate tunings editor

Max Magic Microtuner is a Macintosh application (OS X and OS 9 Carbon) for creating and editing microtonal scales and keyboard mappings; as a special feature it allows Max/MSP and Pluggo users to generate their own alternate tuning external objects by converting specially formatted text files into C-compiled Max/MSP MIDI-to-frequency externals. These tuning text files contain the intonation table data and can be created and edited with Max Magic Microtuner itself or with other text editors. You can export the intonation table data in a text format that is compatible with the read method of the Max "Coll" object. You can create, import, edit and export 128-note MIDI Tuning Standard keymap files (.syx, .mid) compatible with the Native Instruments FM7 softsynth and with all software and...

    MaxMagic Microtuner now features a file export function that allows you to create text files containing the

    is to expand the scale and save the script code file in a text format using the specific export option in the File
    menu. Then youjust have to open the exported file with a text editor, copy/paste the script code in Kontakt,
    and click on the "Apply" button to activate the script. From within Kontakt you'll also be able to save the script
    in NI's proprietary "nkp" compiledformat, that will allow you to avoid having to copy/paste the same tuning
    code again in the future.
