That will make your synth legendary amongst a small group of nerds

There can be; 31-tone equal temperament is a "popular" one
I think your approach is interesting, though. It's a different tradeoff than just mapping directly, and maybe more approachable in some cases. There are people who use midi controllers other than regular keyboards who may find it less convenient, but since your firmware is open source, someone could offer an alternative that behaves differently if necessary. The leap from microtuning with one kind of keyboard mapping to another is smaller than the leap from stock firmware to firmware which lets you browse the SD card for scala files and can parse them into arbitrary tunings.
It's your product and you are entitled to your own take on it; I am personally glad that you'd consider it AT ALL because it's not an attractive feature to most manufacturers, therefore people who are tuning-curious like I am are usually out in the code, not to mention people who come from cultures which haven't traditionally used equal temperament... Which is actually a lot of people, if you think about it.
And personally, I appreciate a synth that allows me to try new things!

For my script, you would give it the frequency you want note 0 to have. I could rework it so you can choose the root note/key and it would extrapolate the rest of the notes.
As far as keyboard mapping goes, I'd suggest that octave mapping isn't that important. People who want it will make 12 note scales. People who don't care about keyboard mapping would be unrestricted.

Xavier, I have updated my gist because I noticed a mistake I made when reviewing the scala file format.
I am a C++ newbie so I've made the gist public so others can suggest improvements.

No problem. I appreciate your considering the feature, as it would make the PreenFM very appealing to me. Hopefully that code will not require too much modification to work with the PreenFM processor!

I do have a c++ class that does that. I will email it to you when I get home tonight.

I'd like to give this a bump. I am interested in a PreenFM but this is an important feature for me. I have implemented scala-based tuning for my own softsynth and offer you the C++ class that does it, but I was thinking this morning that perhaps the simplest way to do it would be to read the frequency table from a file on the USB stick if available.
