Entonal Studio

Entonal Studio is a microtonal plugin and standalone app which enables users to retune any VST or AU virtual instrument. Tuning individual notes in your DAW and beyond is now simple and intuitive thanks to Entonal Studio's radial graph and flexible keyboard mapping options. What's more, Entonal Studio can act as both a MIDI plugin and a host for VST/AU instruments, meaning no MIDI routing is needed to turn your favourite plugins into fully microtonal instruments.

The Radial Graph

Easily retune scale notes by colour and angular position, drag notes freehand in cents or have them snap to EDO degrees or simple ratios within a given prime limit. You can also view the relative intervals between two or more held notes, and check harmonic alignment with the 'harmonics view'.

Plugin Hosting

One cause of friction in the microtonal music workflow is the MIDI routing required behind the scenes. Entonal Studio can work this way, but it can also host VST2, VST3 and AU instruments, making your favourite synths and other instruments microtonal in just a couple of clicks.

Preset Browser

Discover a plethora of non-standard tunings with Entonal Studio's browser. From common tunings and useful starting points – just intonation, 19-tone equal temperament – through to more esoteric selections – 43-tone Harry Partch and 7-limit Hexany.

Scale Editor

Add or remove new notes in a list, and type their values in cents, ratios, EDO degrees or mathematical expressions. Define the ratio of the 'repeating interval' for scales that don't repeat at the octave (2/1).

Key Mapping

Define how your custom scale is controlled by your keyboard controller or your DAW's piano roll. Choose the root note and its frequency, define the number of notes in the scale, exclude black notes... or just use the default 'Auto' mode.

Tuning Lattice

Visualise the harmonic relationship between intervals in your scale. Each harmonic has it's own dimension. Quickly see where certain chords or intervals exist in your scale.

Scale Generator

Import new tunings from Scala files, or whip up a new equal temperament by selecting the size of the octave and the number of its divisions.

Grouping

When using multiple instances of Entonal Studio in a DAW project, you can group instances together to follow each other. For example, tweak notes for your chord part, and your melody's scale will follow.

Onboard Synth

Hear your tunings without connecting a thing behind the scenes. The built-in Simple Synth features anti-aliased oscillators, a snappy envelope and a tape-style delay unit.
