It would be nice to be able to load .tun files into the Sampler Track so you can play microtonal scales or scales with different intonations/temperament (or something equivalent to .tun, but personally I prefer .tun)
Right now, I accomplish this by loading samples into Serum, which supports .tun files. But it’s a big waste of CPU and it would be much better to just have this option in the Sampler Track.
Hi,
Could you link to the specification of the *.tun file, please?
Could you use MIDI Insert Micro Tuner instead?
Not exactly. With a .tun file, you can have more or less than 12 tones in an octave. You’re not trapped with the western 12 note system.
A .tun file basically is just a text document with an array listing MIDI note value and pitch in hz, and you can map each note to a designated hertz value. I think you there’s also a way you can just set the notes in an octave and have them repeat, but basically, this is all it is.
Here’s some specifications:
And here’s some easy ways to create tun files, although if you understand the syntax, it’s also do-able by just renaming a txt file with .tun

I mean, it wouldn’t have to be specifically a .tun file… but some way to control the pitch of notes 1 through 128 (and be able to save the tuning preset) would be super cool.
