Hello,
First of all wish you all a happy and healthy new year with a lot of music.
Does anyone use the mx4 in other scales?
I mean like in Turkish music you have in one octave not 12 but depends on the instrument 17 or even sometimes 24 or more tones in one octave so a lot of extra quarter tones beside the half ones.
If you don't use them the whole character, feeling, expression dies in especially Turkish music cause I also play the Turkish saz(Turkish guitar) and I use a lotta quarter tone frets. I have 17 and sometimes 19 tones in one octave.
Is there a possibility to set the mx4 or other synth plug-ins up that you can use these extra quarter tones?
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
Cagatay.
