Scale-based Pitchbend in Kontakt

I've updated the Scala2Kontakt Microtuner to add a feature
that sets the range of midi pitchbends in scale degrees rather
than semitones. For a given bend depth setting, each degree of
a scale gets its own bend interval and each note carries its own
bend range parameter. Using this approach, a group of notes in
a non-equal scale can respond individually to a bend and arrive
at in-scale pitches. Here's a link to more info:

And it is great!

Say Robert, I need to send you some stuff I've been doing, using your program to retune Kontakt! Really insanely busy at the moment, kind of freaking out a bit, but I'll get on it ASAP.

Anyway Robert's programs are an absolute "must have" for microtonal musicians working with software synths and samplers.
