Theremini -- Spreadsheet for scales

Post by baldcynic » Mon Nov 23, 2015 6:35 am

An excel spreadsheet with all the notes in each scale/root.

Am I the only person who thinks this would be useful? Forgive me if it already exists and I just haven't seen the post.

I found this in the excellent manual for the TB Midi stuff IPad app. I printed it out to post in my little studio, and also keep it in my IPad notes. I'm hoping that Moog will add some of the more exotic ones for a Theremini update. Having a user-programmable and Midi-loadable scale is one of my many dreams for this.
Hope you find this useful!
