Overtone Music Network

a common space for harmonic overtones

Hello, I write microtonal music using Sibelius software. I wonder if anyone knows of a program that can play back multiple microtonal scales/chords easily and accurately? I've tried some H-Pi software and can't seem to get the hang of it and Patchwork is a mystery to me. Can anyone help?

I usually trick software to do unusual stuff, but I have little knowledge of microtonal music. Perhaps if you explain what you want to achieve I can help figure it out. Sounds like a nice challenge to me.

I could write one ;-)
But I'm involved in other project right now.
Type in google words: microtonal vsti
You can try also on www.kvraudio.com

You should find some virtual synthesizers, and they can be used (hosted) with variety of audio software like Cubase, Reaper and so on.

Not a bad idea. I use VSTi synthesizers too, a couple of them support microtonal scales and even harmonics editing. I suppose it would be possible to just set up a few different tracks with the same plugin and just set each track to a different scale set, then you could play multiple scales "accurately".

Thanks for all those responses. Been away for a while so sorry for very late reply. I'll check out your suggestions and get back to you...

Hi Dan and Christopher,
I have finally succeeded with H-Pi's Custom Scale Editor and their new Microsynth software. I can map pure spectra to a midi keyboard or any other midi instrument. I have also learnt to play them on my guitar now - out of frustration - but this has turned out to be most satisfying. I'm now, at last, going to form my live spectral band. :-)
Thank you both for your interest and help. I hope all is going well with you guys.
