Explore the various tunings that come with Live 12, and even make your own with our new free site: https://t.co/sodl5PZIn8

[Alexander Chen @alexanderchen]

Really cool site by @Ableton lets you play around with different musical tuning systems. https://t.co/4qvHH2dA0F I especially like this sonic code editor! 🎵 #musedchat

[Jack Schaedler @JackSchaedler]

A fun way to explore https://t.co/tOOWWYcw4C: Start some drones using the editor, and then noodle on pads to listen for beating patterns and interesting intervals. Here's an example with a 7-EDO system.

[Dennis DeSantis @dennisdesantis]

@chuck_suttonn @Ableton It's great!

[Dennis DeSantis @dennisdesantis]

@poplesz @Ableton Ah, right! This is something different. Live 12 now supports different *tunings*, not just different *scales*.

[Dennis DeSantis @dennisdesantis]

To accompany the new tuning features in @ableton Live 12, we've created a companion website - https://t.co/QbPXnJ27gZ - that lets you explore Live's tuning presets, and even make your own.

[Dennis DeSantis @dennisdesantis]

@poplesz @Ableton I don’t think Note supports tuning systems. Do you mean the tuning of an individual sample?

[Dennis DeSantis @dennisdesantis]

@PauRosello_ @Ableton Yes, Live will display whatever note names are in the file, providing they're using symbols that Live can display. Many of the presets use ASCII characters to modify note names, for example. There's a 31TET file in the library!

[Dennis DeSantis @dennisdesantis]

@PauRosello_ @Ableton The piano roll updates to show the notes names in the loaded tuning file.

[Dennis DeSantis @dennisdesantis]

@MartynEhm @Ableton No, the device in Live currently shows tunings relative to 12edo. But the website has a tuner as well, which can listen to mic input. And it can switch between showing tunings relative to 12edo or the current tuning system.
