Colundi tuning

sicijk	Posted on Sat 14 Mar 2026, 10:12 AM Hello all, i would like to use the Colundi .scl file to import in EFM. I read that it can import 32 notes on a range of 2octaves. While the Colundi file I found comprises 128 frequencies. What Is the best way to manage this scenario ? Thanks a lot in advance d^_^b
KODAMO	Posted on Mon 16 Mar 2026, 10:30 AM Hello, Currently scala files are supported only up to 32 notes, but for more you can switch to Advanced Tuning mode which allows independent setting of frequencies for all 128 MIDI notes. In that mode the EFM can receive MTS real time tuning data through MIDI. I think there are tools online to convert scala files to MTS tuning sysex data so you can use it

KODAMO	Posted on Thu 19 Mar 2026, 09:48 PM I am not sure I understand your last sentence but basically, it works like any other tuning. When on the Tuning page, it is applied to all voices to hear it easily. Outside of that, Voices that you want to use this tuning have to be modified. If you want to set a global tuning for all voices without editing all of them, just replace the main tuning ("Equal") with yours.
sicijk	Posted on Fri 27 Mar 2026, 07:29 PM Thanks. So the injected tuning gets saved in the list? Just that it brings the synth in Advanced Mode?
KODAMO	Posted on Sat 28 Mar 2026, 03:52 AM Set the tuning to advanced mode beforehands. Then the list will update with frequencies when it receives the MTS MIDI dump.
sicijk	Posted on Sat 28 Mar 2026, 12:05 PM Hello, I tried but with no success. It should be a mistake by me of course. I downloaded this scala file: https://tubbutec.de/files/Colundi-full-everyOne.scl Then I tried to convert it to .syx and ingest it thru BomeSX to EssenceFM, but the frequencies list doesn't update (Midi activity led blinks when I request the send)
sicijk	Posted on Sat 28 Mar 2026, 12:24 PM SOLVED ! I used another converter this time and the tuning has been received! BTW I used Scala2MTS on browser.
