the note values sit in a coll somewhere, IIRC. or a separate text/XML file, I forget.

The coll object is your friend. You'd use the MIDI note number for the index, and then store the frequency you want. I do it all the time to considerable effect.

CK's right. For more information, I would politely suggest you choose "Max Tutorials" from the Help menu in Max, and scroll down to the Max Basic Tutorial 18 "Data Collections", where all will be revealed.

Yeah I found the coll and the list of numbers associated with the scales but did not come up with any neat way of inserting new scales quick ... Are u just hand typing every note in every scale in ?
Thx

Well, I only tend to use a single scale (one of my own making), so I only have to do the typing once.
Alternately, you could write yourself a Max patch that calculated the pitches for you, of course. An uzi 128 object feeding a counter and some calculation stuff, with a pack object stuck on the end....
