Scale

The master TUNING of the patch — the harmonic twin of the Clock. Pick a scale SYSTEM (Equal / Just Intonation / a world tuning like a Turkish makam, an Indian raga, gamelan, or a non-octave tuning), a TONIC, and a keyboard MAP, and every note source set to 'Follow' plays in it — microtonally, the natural intervals between the piano keys. Turn the DRONE on (the tonic + a fifth, a tanpura / bourbon) and the pure intervals lock beat-free. A pure controller — no AudioNode of its own (besides the drone); it sets the pitch context the way the Clock sets the time context. Drop a Microtonal rig to hear it instantly.
