I've been making music in just intonation for many years now, and have tried most of the software and plugins. MTS-ESP is a godsend for syncing tunings across hardware and software instruments. It's just incredible. Having tried several of the newer plugins that use this format, Entonal Studio stands out as the most intuitive to use, as well as being vibrantly clear in illustrating the structures of different tuning systems. Particularly, the lattice view, as well as the measurement tool that shows you to see the frequency ratios of any tuning in realtime as you play intervals. Incredibly useful and makes microtuning much more approachable than anything else out there.

Entonal Studio is a great tool for scale/tuning design, and instrument tuning as well. The ability to export scales in Scala format is as straightforward as it is useful. I'm glad I found this software and look forward to seeing how it evolves in the future.

I love Entonal's simple and intuitive interface. The ability to change the fundamental frequency as well as make minute changes sharp or flat on any scale degree of any tuning are great features. I love it's multichannel mode. Though it still has some bugs with some DAW's like DP, it is still a great program for absolute beginners or advanced users.

Thanks Stephen.

I'd love to get those bugs in Digital Performer ironed out. I'm glad that multichannel mode is proving useful for you.

I use many different synths with different protocols for playing microtonal scales, some of which do not allow microtonal retuning at all. Many of those that can be micro tuned them do not properly deal with the key center, which makes a lot of difference with the non-equal scales I use. Entonal Studio tames them by making them all tune in the same way. I am very happy with the ease of use, and also with the responsiveness of the developer to reports about performance, etc.

Wilson's responsiveness is key to this Entonal Studio's ongoing development. And the plugin can prove remarkably useful, as the MTS-ESP ecosystem continues to expand.

At its core, Entonal Studio is about tuning tracks with one another. Yes, it allows a lot of flexibility in creating new tunings and scales. Yet what makes it so important is the application of the same tuning to different tracks. In that sense, MTS-ESP is a bit like the Ableton Link standard, applied to tuning. Here, Entonal Studio serves as the common thread. As does Oddsound's own "MTS-ESP Mini". The key difference, here, is that we can create, tweak, adapt, analyze, manage, organize, and visualize different tunings and scales, all in realtime. Which makes for a deep, ear-opening experience in performance or composition.

Entonal Studio can also work with plugins which don't support MTS-ESP directly: hosting those plugins, sending pitchbend information to monophonic synths, or leveraging MPE's per-voice pitchbend. In those cases, the plugin sometimes proves less effective, probably due to the complexity involved in interacting between different plugins. In my experience, it's probably best not to rely too heavily on this use outside of MTS-ESP. However, it remains a useful set of features.

Awesome plug-in for tuning your instruments. I originally purchased this VST in order to tune my synths from 440 to other tunings and it was extremely simple to do. The functions and capabilities of this plug-in go FAR beyond anything I would ever use and would do well for those that are looking for such. Also, when it comes to support and assistance, the team at Entonal is super quick at responding and helping with guidance. I am very grateful they took their dream and turned it into something that we can all experience. Thank you for all that you do and keep up the amazing work!!.

Entonal came in the perfect time. I was looking for a microtonal software and I tested some of them, but Entonal was my perfect choice. Some months after, is still my best choice and it's getting better and better.

having used a number of microtonal softwares, probably most of them, Entonal Studio is the best. It is very easy to use with MPE soft synths.

Entonal Studio has one disadvantage: because it is so easy to select a tuning system, and so easy and intuitive to edit this system, I lose myself again and again in the vast realms of new and unusual music.

Great plugin for those unusual tunings that give the music an out of the ordinary feel. Been all over my ambient and downtempo tracks.

Finally an easy, interesting and creative way to explore alternative tunings! For the sonic explorer this is a "must use" plugin.
