Hello, I just got my Digitone 2 today and have been playing some chords alongside my persian santur, but I seem to be unable to tune individual notes in a chord to fit the persian scale which has microtunings. Am I missing something…?
I’m trying to play an A koron minor, which has an A (tuned 33 cents down), a C and a D#, figured it would be possible to play it with a G# instead of A and then edit it but I really can’t figure out how.
You can’t change the tuning on some notes in the same step, if you p-lock e.g. -33 cents it would affect all the notes on that step.
You could lay out the chord notes on different tracks though so that it’d be one note per step and/or use track layering. Alternatively you could use microtiming to place each note on a different step.
Ratio offsets is another way.
Hi, there’s some discussion here
The simple answer is you have to work around the lack of fine tuning, and the workarounds are limited. You could attempt to implement one of the suggestions discussed here though.
It is possible by Keytracking → Pitch (FUNC + Track, scroll down to Keytracking, assign Pitch),
to have effectively 36EDO, where every step is 33 Cents.
Edit: Cool suggestions by ligature. Also, it would be awesome to be able to load Scala Files into DNII, though 
Scala files would be so so awesome, but yeah I’m kinda disappointed and honestly shocked lol that elektron allowing p-locks on pretty much everything doesn’t allow for it individual notes of a chord 
hope it will be included in a future update.
Thank you for the suggestions ligature and shigginpit. I’m not sure what a ratio offset tbh, but I’ll try the microtiming tip
If you use a sound where pitch is determined by a comb filter, like the piano presets, you can also change the divisions of the octave by lowering the Keytracking option on the second page of the filter. Essentially what @Jeanne suggested above.
If I were you I’d have a separate track just for the notes that need to be tuned manually for easier editing and workflow purposes. I tried to write some short melodies on just intonation and pythagorean scale on the A4 by manually tuning each note but that was no fun.
You can read about ratio offsets on the manual, a handy feature if you’re using fm.

@littleprince96 if you have or record music with a persian santur by all means share a link or post it on the Current sounds thread™.
