To my awareness, the hardware synths that do microtuning can be set up
any twisted imaginable way. You might have to look one page further down
though, to get past the 12 note/octave convenience setup.
THere was a piece written for the DX-7 (symphonia?) that had ~60
steps/octave. It wasn't diffucult to set up, just time consuming. All you
would have to do is program the multitune on each device - The MIDI note
number is layer of abstraction; it doesn't *need* to map to it's
traditional key.
If "it" (symphonia?) was tuned even tempered 60 note/octave, the DX7*
will do the tuning in almost no time from the "convenience page". Select
"even tempered", select "60", done! (Well, approximately like that
...)
So you assign 60 pitches per octave - doesn't that leave you with
only just over a 2 octave range?
confused...
