Any adivce for making new scales

I need to play *Greek Orthodox Church Scales
There are 4 scales
They are all different from standard known

So I need to change a little, the pitch, of individual notes

Like this
6-20-4-12-6-20-4

This is page about orthodox scales
http://kelfar.net/orthodoxiaradio/HChromatic.html

ORth church is using neumes, instead of western notes
And to sing neumes as biginner, is nice to have instrument, tuned as one of 4 scales

In new versions of FL i saw there are few scales predefined to play, like blues, janko, major ... on right click on keyb. ikon
It would be of great help, for orth. church singers if there is way some vsti to play tuned in 4 scales, or any other way

1. Diatonic - Modes 1,4,5, and 8

2. Soft Chromatic - Mode 2

3. Hard or (intense) Chromatic - Mode 6

4. Enharmonic - Modes 3 and 7 (Grave)

Thank you Always

I'm not familiar enough with FLS to know if/how you could assign alternate/non-western scales with it. As I recall, there are some plugins that will let you assign scales, including non-western scales. One of them was called Scala, or maybe Skala (???) - try googling it. I'm not sure if it has the scales/modes you're looking for, since the Byzantine modes were primarily used for chants, rather than harmonic use, but ya never know.

I've poked around a bit trying to find microtuning in FL, couldn't find anything. But I use FL 8 so they may have added it since then.

If you are using only native plug ins you can change velocity to note fine pitch. It's tedious though, as you have to adjust pitch of each individual note.

All,OP,

FWIW, 7Aliens Harmonizer W2 does not list them. Z3Ta V1 did microtuning but had no set scales to work from.
