In my previous example of audio created with my gestural music sequencer, that I’m tentatively naming GMS, I presented a pattern of sampled Rhodes notes in a chromatic scale. One of the functions I’ve built into the application is the capability of switching scales. Currently the available scales are major, minor, pentatonic minor, and chromatic. Here’s an example of the application producing notes in a minor scale. One thing you may notice is the dynamic range. By gesturing lower within the Y axis the notes get quieter, while gesturing near the top of the screen makes notes that are louder.
GMS Minor Scale
So is there any video of this up on the net yet? I’d love to see it in action.
Man, I really want to get my hands on this sequencer
I created java reference library for MIDI-> MUSIC, MUSIC-> MIDI mapping that might be of use to you. It would at least give you quick access to more a lot more ready made scales (I think I have 17 in there?). Its here:

Very cool project, can’t wait to see the code :)
Hey Grant. Thanks! I’ll take a look at your library. I’ve got a lot more work to do, but once it’s in a stable condition I’ll release it here. DJ Three6T, I’ll get some video of it in action up soon.
