[CM] cm3 error

[Heinrich Taube]

take a look at cm3's scale function, it does bascially what cm2's  
modes and tunings did only much simpler (ie no objects its just a  
list ). the word 'tuning' is not stated explicily in the doc but the  
steps you pass to scale can be floating point key numbers, which are  
equivalent to hertz, which would make it a 'tuning' in cm2 speak
