What does "recording on board sound" mean?
Basically LMMS wasn't able to export my microtonal data so I had to literally record my computer's internal audio using PulseAudio and audacity while playing the project. ZynAddSubFX lets you modify the keyboard scales in any way that you want, but any time you close out of the GUI it forgets everything so I couldn't even use more than one instrument. I think it would be really hard to compose the way you did it, but at least it's possible to export projects and use multiple instruments. I'd like to hear what you came up with.
Cool ! I've got the work in progress (LMMS native project file) here
https://lmms.io/lsp/?action=show&file=14682. I don't know if my chords sound too weird I think I've gotten desensitized to weird chords at this point lol. Your microtonal scale is much more sophisticated than mine, I'm just using quarter tones. (edit: fixed link)
I really like it up until when the saw comes in, the quarter tones really add a haunting beauty to it. You've inspired me to look more into the 24 tone scale, Arabic music is very dear to my heart and your song is definitely reminiscent.
I think it's really hard to do harmonies with the 24 tone scale, most of the Arabic music I know either does European harmonies or is just monophonic.

This song is a pretty popular meme from a while ago and I don't think there are literally any harmonies or polyphony whatsoever. I actually heard this being played at a university event so this style is pretty popular.

This song is old old and you can see the instruments mostly follow the melody and the drums provide most of the backing

They also use the pitch shifting wheel a lot. This song is really cool because it's a party song with a lot of obvious microtonal basically solo keyboard, but still barely if any harmonies.

This song I think actually does have microtonal harmonies

With solo oud pieces you can see them using a drone technique some of the time
Sorry for piling on all the links, I just really like Arabic music and I think it's a good guide for how people have been using "microtonal" scales for hundreds of years in a popular setting that's still applicable today.
