An SCL file may also be a musical scale definition written in the Scala scale format. It contains plain text that defines the scale's included notes. Scala users can export scales they've created as SCL files, for use with various synthesizers.
More Information
Scala is a musical scale creation and analysis tool available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It allows musicians and composers to experiment with musical tunings and export tuning data to many different types of synthesizers, in either MIDI or SCL format.
Typically, an SCL file begins with a comment noting the file's name, such as ! FileInfo.com Example.scl. The first non-comment line describes the scale the file contains. The second line defines the number of notes the scale includes. Finally, the file's remaining lines detail the notes the scale includes, in either ratio (e.g. 81/64) or cents (e.g. 408.0) format.
How to open an SCL file
You can open and edit an SCL file with Scala (multiplatform). You can also open and edit an SCL file with Microsoft Notepad (Windows), Apple TextEdit (Mac), or any other text editor.
