The scale manager in Sonar seems to be set up to work with changes of a semitone (100 cents) in an equal-tempered scale. If you can live with that, it may already have the scale you want, or you can set one up yourself. Maybe someone with more experience with this can advise you on how to get what you want using that feature. Once you get into microtuning, you will need to have two things. A way to define your scale, and an instrument to play it. Some instruments (wood&wire pianos obviously, but also a significant proportion of synths can't play notes between the keys from a simple midi note number). You might be able to tweak the note you want by adding pitch bend events to your midi file, but that could get tedious if you want every instance of that note detuned. Scala is becoming a standard way of defining scales, and Rapture, and Dimension are examples of softsynths that can load Scala files, and that would probably be the easiest way to go.

there should be a way to do this. A MFX midi plugin that does the trick

You might take a look at SCALA Scala Home Page Scala Scala is a powerful software tool for experimentation with musical tunings, such as just intonation scales, equal and historical temperaments, microtonal and macrotonal scales, and non-Western scales. It supports scale creation, editing, comparison, analysis, storage, tuning of electronic instruments, and MIDI file generation and tuning conversion. All this is integrated into a single application with a wide variety of mathematical routines and scale creation methods. Scala is ideal for the exploration of tunings and becoming familiar with the concepts involved. In addition, a very large library of scales is freely available for Scala and can be used for analysis or music creation. Great care has been taken to make Scala's functions and operations very general. The range of parameter values that commands accept is made as wide as possible. Often various forms of input are allowed. No arbitrary restrictions are made. Scales are stored in a flexible format. Intervals can be entered and saved as either ratios or in cents and be intermixed within a single scale. Constructing scales from scratch is one of Scala's strengths. The kinds of scales that can be made with Scala include: equal temperaments, Pythagorean (meantone) scales, Euler-Fokker genera, Fokker periodicity blocks, harmonic scales, Partch diamonds and Wilson combination product sets. In addition, a set of command files is included to build other kinds of scales such as triadic scales, circular mirrorings, circulating temperaments, etc., and to serve as examples. Fred

I wanna be able to change the (Cent) of a not for example---> B note = -50 cents. Right-click on the following link, and 'Save Target As ...' 000 Quarter Tone B.scl Drop it in either Dimension Pro or Rapture. drive letter:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Dimension Pro\Tunings -OR- drive letter:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Rapture\Tunings. Launch either Dimension Pro or Rapture. Click on the Pitch (modulator), then click on the Pitch Keytrack (diagonal line graphic). Load the '000 Quarter Tone B' file for each active Element in the synth preset.

Did you try using the Tobybear microtuner plugin?
