Survey of Tunings using a Roland GR-20

The other night I was able to use a new version of Fractal Tune Smithy which worked wonderfully as a relay tuner for my Roland GR-20.
I then did a survey of a small portion of the *vast* number of tunings in the scala library. Essentially I loaded an interesting tuning and tried to find some chordal or melodic something to base an improvisation on and if I could find something I tried it. A few of these improvisations didn’t get saved to saved – I captured the ones most interesting to me. Also, in this series I include several GR-20 patches including piano and sometimes an inboard effect from my Alesis mixer.
