			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>In case it helps, Pianoteq supports scala files and has a lot of options under the &quot;Advanced Tuning&quot; window, many of which can be controlled by MIDI events and altered in real-time or near-real-time.&nbsp; (Stage doesn&#039;t fully support this, but Standard and Pro both do.)</p><p>I think we&#039;d need a little more information about your unique setup and needs before we could recommend something more specific than that for your needs.</p><p>For example, do you need to change every single note&#039;s pitch after the last note played (e.g. your system can&#039;t be expressed in a predetermined structure of some kind thus eliminating the usefulness of scala files)?</p><p>Does your setup send the tuning in Hz, cents, or decimal fractions of a semitone?</p><p>Is this microtonal system a regular octave fraction (of any division) or can it no be expressed in an octave scale division across the entire keyboard compass (like a novel system that divides octaves differently depending on the range)?</p><p>Are the pitches purely random (which could get prohibitively complicated if the floats require very high bit-depth decimal precision, particularly of poor-granularity units like Hz)?&nbsp; Is there a method of expressing your general microtonal scale mathematically and then translating minor changes as temperaments in fractions of a cent (which is something scala can do quite effectively even if those adjustments fluctuate and are passed to PTQ in near-real-time)?</p><p>How precise and in what units are you communicating pitch information? (As the pitch bend wheel can easily be precise to half a percent +/- the base-line unit used by default, but again, if the floats are an expression of Hz instead of fractions of a cent or another more precise unit it would need to be converted to an integer within the range of +/- 200 based on the current default MIDI mapping--which can be adjusted but not necessarily to greater precision in certain situations...)</p><p>dv is right that MIDI 2 is definitely an option, but I suspect that there is a likely method using MIDI and creatively routing information or changing units.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hello!</p><p>I have a system that generates microtonal scales, which I intend to play with a keyboard, sending the midi information to pianoteq. The problem is that the values I create are float, meaning that they are not necessarily integers, they can be 60.2, 31.415, etc, and I believe most virtual instruments can&#039;t deal with this because the midi protocol is based in integers. </p><p>I thought that this piano would be able to receive it because it is not sample generated, but I can&#039;t get it to work on the free trial. Does anyone know if the more expensive versions of the app can receive float midi? I would also appreciate if anyone had another solution for this!!</p><p>Thank you</p>]]></content>
