If you search on "temperament" you'll find quite a bit on this forum. One of Pianoteq's strengths is its ability to load in ANY temperament and react to that in the same way an acoustic instrument would.

More specifically Pianoteq has a number of alternate tunings built in, and in addition can use scales defined by the Scala program (http://www.huygens-fokker.org/scala/). You can download a file with a huge number of Scala scales from that website (or use the software to create your own) which can be loaded into Pianoteq. Then its a matter of defining presets using the scales you want and creating midi events (program changes or whatever) to allow you to change presets easily in a live situation (read Pianoteq manual)

Non-equal tuning

Hello everybody, I'm a musician and composer (actually my main instrument is trumpet). I'm experimenting in my music a lot with non-equal temperament (mainly just intonation and non european tuning systems). I'm looking for a keyboard instrument or software that I could use in a LIVE situation, that fits well in a group of ACCOUSTIC instruments. It should be possible to programm several tuning sets and switch the tuning system during a musical performance in a fast and easy way.
You think, it is possible to use the pianoteq software for that?
Thanks for sharing your experience in the field!
