Multiscale export with .msf #570

hey guys, are there any plans for .msf files? (Multiple Scale Format, which is basically a .tun file that has a different scale for each MIDI channel. It can be imported into MTS-ESP mini to retune synths which respond to multi-channel tuning maps)

Pretty much depends on #569

how about a simplified version, where you just have a base scale and choose an interval by which to transpose each subsequent scale of each channel? That would still be useful for stuff like large edos For example, I have 41edo as the base scale, and each MIDI channel transposes the pitch by one octave

Or, I have 12edo as the base scale, and each MIDI channel transposes the pitch by 1\72, which could make for an intuitive way of using 72edo in the DAW

That's the way I already do it in Bitwig. I guess it could be useful if the target DAW doesn't let you map channels like that out of the box.

yeah that would be useful, especially since MTS-ESP supports .msf files
