===Method 2: Set a tuning in the synth using a Scala scale file and keyboard mapping file===

Probably the most common method people choose to retune a synth in a DAW by loading prepared tuning files. Tuning files provide all or most of the specification for a scale or tuning, and might be loaded using a drop-down selector or a file loading dialog. For this method, we use the example of a Scala scale file and keyboard mapping file, since the Surge XT synth supports the [[User:Mousemambo/Scala tuning system|Scala tuning system]]. Very briefly, the scale file sets the intervals of the scale and the keyboard mapping file places the tuning base of the scale file on a specific MIDI note, sets the tuning reference note and pitch, and maps the notes to a keyboard or other controller. See the section "[[User:Mousemambo/Document draft#Scala scale and keyboard mapping files|Scala scale and keyboard mapping files]]" below for more about these tuning files.

[This section could be renamed "Set a tuning in the synth using tuning files" perhaps.]
