A big THANK YOU to Amos and team for implementing alternate tunings on the Sub P with the new firmware! Completely cool!

The documentation is in the zip file with the version 2 firmware. If you've registered your Sub Phatty you should have received an e-mail about that this week.

thank a lot for the info,more exactly i am looking to microtuning the keyboard in 1/4 or 1/8 tone ,for example if you start in A 440 hz in 1/4 tone tuning you will need 2 full octave of the keyboard to reach A 880 hz .however it is a plus to have the possibility to experiment a lot of exotic and alternate tuning.really the sub phatty is quit amazing and another plus is the random function in the editor.

The tunings app will let you set up any tuning you'd like. quarter tone, eighth, all are possible :)

here is a short demo of a sequence on the SubPhatty using the alt tunings app to change the tunings on the fly. The tunings change about every fourth time through the sequence: http://www.pantanosoftware.com/music/SubAltTunings.wav

I see that you meant across octaves on the keyboard :oops: I'm *not* sure the Moog tunings app will handle that. I'll check tonight...

exact,like it is written in the manual * Scala files are also supported, as long as they are twelve-tone files; other
tunings with fewer or greater number of pitches are currently not supported* .in future firmware it could be implemented.why not.this instrument is new, so we will see a lot of developments around it.
