Dear Osama + Jon,
I tried the link for microtonalsynthesis dot com and found it was dead . Try this, it should work http://64.127.238.145/ . BTW the soft synth Midicode will manage just about any tuning you want http://www.midicode.com . However you can't send the generated midi messages to another synth. So you would have to accept the voices in Midicode or create your own .

Cheers, Alasdair

Please don't use the static IP address anymore. Instead, use this new
link and bookmark it:

http://www.microtonal-synthesis.com/

This is not in the search engines yet. They still have the old link
which is invalid and has basically been stolen from my possession by an
unscrupulous web hosting provider (Feature Price).

Would it be of any assistance for people to email them with complaints, or have you already beaten this into the ground? I wouldn't want to make matters worse, but will support you if needed...

Cheers,
Jon
