Using Microtones in Electronic Music (microtonal tutorial)

Here's how to use microtonal scales to make your computer music wavy and wonderful. This xenharmonic tutorial should work in any DAW because I'm demonstrating the plugin method here. Microtonal music is a deep topic, and this video is just a starting point. If you know of alternative approaches then please share them in the comments to help out others! Note: while this video shows the Zyn-Fusion synth, these days I would recommend Surge XT as a free software synth with amazing microtonal support. If you're looking for a powerful synth for ANY tuning, start with Surge XT!
