Hello, I am a newbie. I was wondering what sort of microtonality has been developed for pd. Ideally I

You should play around with the [mtof] command. It converts midi note number into frequency. The great thing about [mtof] is that you don't have to limit yourself to integers. Thus:

[notein] | | [spigot] | [* 1.33] | [mtof] | [osc~] | [dac~]

This would give you instant microtonalities. It would just be a matter or working on the math to convert key numbers to the number of steps you want per octave or such.

The [spigot] in the example patch acts as a gate to only allow the note-on note number to be sent to the synth by ignoring note of velocity 0. Makes for a better monophonic synth.

good luck and have fun! Sam
