Greetings:

  As I'm sure many of you know, Scala support is already present in
ZynAddSubFX and I think at least one other Linux softsynth (ALAS Modular
maybe?). I'll cast my vote for its inclusion in anyone's synth or
sequencer, I've had great fun playing around with Scala scales in the
Zyn synth.

  So yeh, Dave, where's that sequencer ?? ;-)

Best,

dp
