TODOs for Scales
TODOs:
Incorporate Karplus-Strong for plucked-string sound.
Try different algorithms.
Reduce randomizations.
Make it choose between different styles (rock, pop, reggae, swing etc), based on different time signatures.
Add a database of scales and corresponding notes.
Think of more TODOs.
