Tempered Scales and Tunings

Tempered Scales and Tunings

2005-03-08 by natural_one87

Hi,
 I hope this isn't too terribly off-topic. I wanted to see if anyone 
knows how to do non-western tunings with the EXS and Logic. Are 
there templates I can get that are tuned to say, an Indonesian Pelog 
scale or Indian Classical modes, or North African Arabic scales, 
etc. I know that some keyboards and some programs do this, but can I 
do it with My Apple/Emagic tools? 

 I'd rather use the sounds I have and not just buy more sampling cds 
of loops. I don't want performances or even multi samples, but just 
a way to detune say, a string section to get that 60's psychedelic 
Indian orchestra vibe, or to make a Koto sample sound more like an 
Oud performance. I'd play the parts myself as I do realize the 
performance gestures and nuances are even more inportant than the 
tunings themselves. Any help would be most appreciated. Cheers.

Mac G4 Dual 500, OS9, Logic Audio Platinum 4.7 Exs24 MK I
