OK Elantric I'm still working on getting the tunings set up. I have about two thirds of a pdf document I found on the interwebs set up in live 8.2. I will finish this project tonight and try to upload the .als files and the link to the reference I used to create them. What it will produce when you open them in ableton is a grouped set of tracks with the 6 channels of triple play mapped to the six inputs with the correct midi transpose values entered for the selected tuning. Example open c. A user will have to assign a midi instrument to each track in order to use them. I use the suite version of live so mine default to an operator synth piano but I will remove that from the files prior to the upload because if you are using a lesser version of live it might glitch. I'm not sure if it would just load the tracks and ignore the missing synth or spit an error.

Ok,
Here are the previously mentioned ableton live sets. You can use them a few different ways. Unzip them to a folder. Navigate to them in live's browser and drag into your existing project or just double click on one to open it in a new set. These are designed for triple play in mono mode. You will have to drop an audio generating component in on each track in the group and set it's output to master or a bus to your master in order to hear output. Also, make sure you drop whatever you are using in AFTER the pitch modifier on each string. Another way, you can make a midi track with a synth or sampler and output the midi from all six strings to that track and its audio to master.

I did not include the operator piano patch I was using because I dont know if it comes with every flavor of live and I didn't want to generate a bunch of errors for people. Not sure if it would ignore or just glitch so you'll need to set up your own soft synth.

I got the alternate tuning info here   http://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/alternatetunings/alltunings.pdf

I didn't do every tuning in the document but I did do most. The pdf has lots of chord diagrams and scale charts. It explains a lot about each tuning and sometimes gives examples of use.

Anyway, I hope this helps someone have some fun or do something different musically to break a rut or put a smile.

I like the open tunings for piano playing.

make sure you have the exclusive record turned off in lives settings as all six tracks will need to be record enabled to work. That is the way the sets are saved. Don't know what it will do if your settings are different.
