Possibly I have misunderstood the topic here but the tunings saved in Pianoteq can be called by user-selectable MIDI messages.

I would also love to see this implemented. I'm building a VR MIDI controller that has a UI to specify tunings. It is much more straightforward and flexible to specify a scala file than to send detunings over SYSEX.

Oooh look at that it works!
./Pianoteq\ 7.exe --open "C:\path\to\file\awesome-tuning.scl"

Unfortunately it looks like there's no way to do what you want other than sysex.

Hi folks,
I am using Pianoteq 5 as a VST in Max7 and I would like to change tuning without having to access the standard Pianoteq GUI, is this possible?
I know that tuning can also be changed via MIDI sysex messages, but being able to recall a whole tuning file with one message would be more handy. Also, if the same thing was also possible with keymap file, that would be absolutely perfect.
Thank you for any tips!
