But, not necessarily to one - if your tuning can be approximated adequately by 8 12-tet tunings, you can have two, ... etc. The "General MIDI" spec does set a standard sensitivity for pitch bend sensitivity, and all systems seem to follow it now. In any case the pitch bend sensitivity is a settable parameter within the MIDI spec, so this need not be a problem.
