Microtonal Support

I was wondering what the potential to add microtonal tuning support to your amazing plugins would be? any combination of MTS-ESP (https://github.com/ODDSound/MTS-ESP) or SCL/KBM support (https://github.com/surge-synthesizer/tuning-library) would be greatly appreciated and a significant enhancement (if doable) as an aside, Pitch Bend and/or MPE would also be interesting adds Thanks!

Hi,

MPE support and Pitch Bend is actually planned for the next generation/updates of orchestools instruments. Although i still do not own an MPE device so it might take a while for the updates (probably summer 2023) because I need one for testing and proper design of instruments. I have not thought of microtonal tuning support to be honest, but i like the idea very much. I'll see what is needed and if I can implement them on the next update. Thank you so much for suggestions and you interest in orchestools instruments. regards,

Fantastic news. Much appreciated. As an aside, I am involved with and a member of the Surge Synth Team if you'd like some insights on applying the tuning library for scl/kbm support or adding MTS-ESP, please visit our Discord at https://discord.gg/bK765ns7 we'd be happy to help recently Decent Sampler has added SCL/KBM support using the SST tuning library and Dave Hilowitz has accepted our invitation and has made an appearance, they are also considering eventual MTS-ESP support we'd love to see you join us as well Thanks again!!!

incoming suggestion from our main dev "you may want to let the know if they own an ipad that https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kb-1-keyboard-suite/id1437919435 is a touch screen app which does a very nice job of sending MPE over bluetooth and i use it for testing MPE when I don't have a device with me"
