Scala is a freeware program available on the Web which allows the user to create musical scales (tunings), edit them, analyze them, play their sounds, and export these tunings to MIDI instruments. The program was created by Manuel Op de Coul in the Netherlands.
Scala's motto is "INVENIT ET PERFICIT" which means "It finds and perfects" or "It discovers and accomplishes" in Latin. Its logo is a Renaissance-style relief print of a cherub holding a compass and a globe with a diatonic musical scale which has a circle of fourths inscribed within it.
The program allows the user to experiment with microtones.
