This is impressive. Great work!
Hi @amiika, just discovered that your patch file appends the scales on every run of the piece. Therefore I added some if statements to avoid populating the scales and chords again and again
(EDIT: Code deleted as it was merged with original post above)
Good catch. Btw, would you happen to know how to construct a 6#5 chord? I interpreted it to be raised 5th on a 6th chord … something like [0, 4, 8, 9] … but thats probably wrong.
No that’s ok. Because in the inverted augmented scale you don’t have the maj7 (=11) note and you take the 6 instead in order to get the chord with 4 notes. But then this collides with the #5. I tried to play some versions on the guitar and it sounds best if you take the 6 into the bass, like C6#5 = a-e-#g-c. In other words, use an inverted version. As numbers this looks like [-3, 4, 8, 12]. But you can keep the [0, 4, 8, 9] version if you want maximum dissonance.
EDIT: the [-3, 4, 8, 12]. is basically the same as a minormajor7 chord. So C6#5 inverted = Am major7
EDITEDIT: should read -3 instead of -2
Yes. Thanks. It sounded too dissonant for my taste so I just thought it had to be wrong 
Thanks! Added some of that to the craziness to the walking bass also.

Just stumbled upon this thread. This is such a great idea musically, and at the same time an elegant implementation programmatically (of course depending on the level of continuous compatibility of Sonic Pi with Ruby 
). Thank you for sharing!

Thanks. That was a fun experiment. Also did a monkeypatch for custom scales that is also fun to play with. Hoping something like that gets implemented as a standard feature.
I agree, the chords and scales from the scale_patch.rb should be part of the SPi Chord and Scale classes.
