    Hi, I'm trying to generate a .tun file (for use with another synth) that will match Absynth's stock Ionic/Aeolic tuning. I have an "Ionic" Scala file that I was planning on using but I need to know the frequency of C3 to convert .scl -> .tun. I can't find this reference information anywhere. Does anyone know where to find it, or an alternative workaround to figure out the exact frequency of C3 in Absynth's Ionic tuning? Thanks in advance.

    From what I can see, C3 is unchanged by that tuning, so it has the usual C3 frequency as defined by A3=440 Hz.

    If you want to know other values, I guess remember them, then create user tuning, then check which frequency it says when you use that value in there.

    Is there no reference information for Absynth's alternate tunings anywhere?

    Not as far as I know. You get the list of tune offsets using peculiar fractional MIDI note information, that's it.

    So, using 69.000000 is 440.000010 Hz (not sure why those 10 there), 70.000000 is 466.163773 Hz, and 69.500000 should be halfway between those two, 452.892995, following the usual formula for 12-TET in MIDI realm.

    Plug the Absynthized fractional MIDI note instead of d to get the frequency.

    Thanks, I was hoping there would be a way to do it other than manually creating the .scl or .tun file, but yes I can certainly do it this way.

    Thanks again. Off to Excel I go...
