Topic: Microtonal support for incoming MTS (real-time MIDI tuning standard)
Dear Pianoteq, I am a composer working with tuning systems and very much appreciate your marvellous and thorough implementation of the Scala .scl and .kbm file standards for tuning when using the Pianotuq software as a playback instrument. I am currently working on implementing microtonal playback features in the music notation software musescore (and also consulting on the development of Dorico), both based on various systems of microtonal notation, in particular my own system of Just Intonation: the goal being to write the tuning and have it play back immediately. The fluidsynth open source soundfontplayer accepts the excellent realtime MIDI Tuning Standard, which is a simple message to retune pitches on the fly. I imagine it would not be difficult for Pianoteq to implement response to MTS and I, for one, would appreciate having a professional grade physical modelling instrument library to work with when I write microtonal scores, which could immediately be played back effortlessly and polyphonically.
I would really appreciate implementation of this feature.
