I see. Well, either way, I still prefer thinking of scale converters
as something I may just plugin, rather than waiting for my favourite
sequencer to support the kind of scales I want. One multichannel
event processor plugin more or less in the net won't be a disaster -
and again, you *can* use 1.0/octave in the sequencer as well as an
alternative.
