I recently received this email and was given permission by the author
to post the content here. I believe he is referring to the
Nord_ModularG2 Yahoo Group. His patch probably cannot bypass the G2
editor's inability to import tuning files, but it seems like a
reasonable stopgap solution. Here's the relevant content of his
email:

"I uploaded a patch to the ModularG2 group
that implements individual tuning in cents for each key, for 64 keys
in the middle of the MIDI range, with the 8 most common scales preset
in the Variations: Pure major, pure minor, Mean tone, Pythagorean,
Werckmeister, Kirnberger, Valotti&Young and Equal temperament. Just
play a chord and switch between them to compare.

Each scale can be transposed to any key with a knob.

It could easily be expanded to all 128 MIDI keys in the same way.

The patch uses a simple sound, just as a demo, men you can easily use
it for any kind of oscillators and synthesis techniques. Read the
comments in the text file attached to the patch.

It is also possible to make an octave-wise microtuning, that repeats
for every octave, but I don't have the time for that right now. If
you
are really interested, I may quickly throw that together at some
later
point.

Happy playing,

Palle Dahlstedt"
