tune VS realearn

I use tune-cli (https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/tune-cli) to play microtonal scales on my non-microtonal Fantom-X8. tune-cli can retune almost any synth via MIDI message injection but it needs to be started as a separate program since it is not a VST plugin.

I developed tune-cli (https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/tune-cli) which is also able to convert Scala to MTS. It can even do it in a live-dispatching mode giving you access to more than 12 notes per octave without any underwater / chipmunk effect.

Very excited to see this. It's very much a tool I would use, excited to give it a spin after work tonight. I also look forward to reading the code.

Other cool music tools I've seen implemented in rust:

* glicol - https://glicol.org/

* tune - https://github.com/Woyten/tune

A while back I wanted to make some tools to aid in composition and was using rust. Very partially baked, but a fun pet project to learn the language with. Generated Just Intonation pitch lattices based on my research of Ben Johnston's compositional approach. https://github.com/jcpst/johnston

Hi, thanks for your comment! The GitHub repo including the source code, documentation and links to some demo videos can be found here: https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/microwave

To download the newest release and learn more about its features, visit https://github.com/Woyten/tune/releases/tag/microwave-0.35.0.

If you want to get started really quick and only need live playback functions also try out my own project: https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/microwave

tune: A library with mature support for pitch calculations, SCL files, KBM files, MIDI Tuning Standard and live retuning

I wrote a software https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/tune-cli that can receive standard (single- or multi-channel) MIDI in events and convert them to microtonal multi-channel MIDI events which should be understandable by most synthesizers. On top of that In wrote a graphical user interface https://github.com/Woyten/tune/tree/master/microwave which also comes with a built-in modular synth engine and soundfont renderer. I am currently working on migrating the UI to a modern 3D engine for better visualizations like keyboards and a Lumatone. IOW the project is still actively developed by me. Let me know if you think those apps could be useful for you and if you have questions about how to use them.

My own tools tune-cli and microwave which I use for my compositions both support a variety of tuning methods including retuning via MIDI fine-tuning messages.

For Reaper there is ReaLearn which supports a similar set of devices and is open source, so it could serve as an inspiration for the addition of additional devices.

Depending on what the Yamaha sends out in terms of MIDI, you can try to drive bits of Reaper with it using something like the Realearn plugin. Although it's intended more for MIDI controllers like a launch control.

In fact, ReaLearn was built using the Reaper API.
