I use Cakewalk Pro for Windows. If I open an event window, I can look at every midi event on one or more channels. This makes midi events look more like a programming language. What I'd like to know is how to translate +/- 99 cents into +/- 8192 pitch bends. I use a Proteus/2 and I find that with tunings that have more than 12 tones the timbre of the samples get stretched so much that a clarinet or a bassoon don't sound right. Also, I'd be able to change tunings in a piece at whim. I wouldn't have to mess with the tuning tables of the synth.
