Scatuni-Scala File Analyzer

Example

Combining a Javanese slendro scale with a Western Pythagorean tuning to create a unique scale that reflects both the pentatonic structure and the pure intervals of Pythagorean tuning.

Scenario

A composer working on a piece that integrates Southeast Asian instruments with Western orchestral instruments might use this function to develop a harmonious tuning system that works for both.

Example

Creating a new .scl file from the combination of Arabic maqam scales and ancient Greek tetrachords, yielding a scale that captures the microtonal nuances of the maqams and the modal nature of Greek music.

Scenario

Musicologists studying the theoretical intersections between Middle Eastern and ancient European musical systems might use Scatuni to experiment with and demonstrate these connections through tangible scale files.

Example

Providing historical context and theoretical background on the scales involved, such as the significance of the raga system in Indian music or the use of quarter tones in Arabic music.

Scenario

Educators and students in world music courses could utilize Scatuni not just for scale creation but also to enrich their understanding of global musical traditions through the lens of tuning and scales.
