soft synths for Microtonality - REASON?

Does anybody know if the software REASON;

http://www.propellerheads.se/products/reason/frame.html

can be used for microtonality?

What is the best software synthesiser for making Microtonal Music?

Thanks Alex

It probably doesn't have tuning tables. You might be able to control it
with pitch bends, but they don't even promise that.

Some are included at <http://www.microtonalsynthesis.com/>. Metasynth is
supposed to be good. Do you have Macintosh? Otherwise there's Native
Instruments' Reaktor and the Software Technology VAZ range.

As far as I know Reason does not support microtuning.

Reaktor is good if you like digging in and designing or reconstructing
your own instruments.

VAZ is good if you want easier to use programming and microtuning
support.

I like the microtonal features of Midicode.
