'''[~~http~~://sevish.com/scaleworkshop/ Scale Workshop]''' is a ~~Javascript tool for working~~ with ~~scales and playing~~ them with an ordinary QWERTY keyboard. It was created by [[~~Sean Archibald~~]].

'''[https://sevish.com/scaleworkshop/ Scale Workshop]''' is a [[scale design application]] which can be used to design microtonal [[scale]]s and play with them with a MIDI [[keyboard]] or an ordinary QWERTY keyboard. It was created by [[Sevish]]. Since version 2 the lead programmer is [[Lumi Pakkanen]].

One ~~great feature~~ is ~~that you can craft~~ a link ~~representing~~ a scale together with an isomorphic keyboard mapping, for example

One common usage of Scale Workshop is sharing a link which represents a scale together with an isomorphic keyboard mapping, for example:

* ~~http~~://sevish.com/scaleworkshop/index.htm?name=24edo%20semaphore&data=50.%0A100.%0A150.%0A200.%0A250.%0A300.%0A350.%0A400.%0A450.%0A500.%0A550.%0A600.%0A650.%0A700.%0A750.%0A800.%0A850.%0A900.%0A950.%0A1000.%0A1050.%0A1100.%0A1150.%0A1200.&&vert=-4&horiz=5

~~and when~~ you follow that link you can instantly play the scale using that mapping.

When you follow that link you can instantly play the scale using that mapping.

Another common usage is exporting your scales for import into synthesizers or [[List of microtonal software plugins|VST plugins]].

* Latest version: https://scaleworkshop.plainsound.org/

* Latest stable version: https://sevish.com/scaleworkshop/

* Development environment: https://sevish.com/scaleworkshop-dev/ (sometimes has new features but may be buggy)

* Scale Workshop classic (1.5): https://sevish.com/scaleworkshop1/

* Lumi's Scale Workshop: https://scaleworkshop.lumipakkanen.com/ (sometimes has new or alternative features)

* SW3 staging: https://sw3.lumipakkanen.com/ (plainsound release candidates go here a day early)

=== Trivia ===

Scale Workshop uses [[5407372813edo]] to determine the [[constant structure]] property for [[just intonation]] scales. This is likely to be the largest number of [[equal division of the octave|equal divisions per octave]] which has ever been used for practical music making purposes.
