Scale Workshop

Scale Workshop is a web application for designing microtonal scales and playing them with a MIDI keyboard or an ordinary QWERTY keyboard. It was created by Sean Archibald. Since version 2 the lead programmer is Lumi Pakkanen.

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

• https://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

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 VST plugins.
