Microtonal Note Blocks
Allows note blocks to use a configurable equal temperament tuning system between 1-TET and 24-TET
About this Mod
Most likely, if you've come looking for this mod, you already know what a microtonal scale is. Or you're enough of a music nerd to at least have heard the term before. But now, you can have all of your microtonal music in note block form! Whether you're a King Gizz fan or someone well rounded enough to listen to music that wasn't made in the US or western Europe, you can now play it on note blocks!
This mod adds one item: the Tuning Fork. The Tuning Fork is crafted with 5 iron nuggets and a note block, and when used on a note block instead of changing its pitch will change its tuning system. It is configurable for every integer scale between 1 and 24 tones (for those who aren't aware, the default is 12). No matter what, the two octave range of the note block is maintained.
