You would be best to go for Logic 7 now Jeff as it now supports microtuning on virtual instruments to 1/10 cent.

here's how the microtuning works:

I wasn't aware that Jeff was using a Mac - isn't Logic 7 now a Mac only product.

Um, that wasn't completely clear - how can a program handle > 12 note scales with pitch bends without artifacts showing up? (Not saying it can't be done at all, just curious).

Jeff also sounds pretty particular about the quality of the sounds, and may be looking for a good piano reproduction - is that bundled with Logic?

Lastly, there is a sizeable and growing number of VST synths and samplers that will utilize any tuning, and that means they can be used in any host, not just Logic. I eagerly await the day that a full-featured sampler will come along with full microtuning, but in the interim we've got more solutions than we ever have had before.

Cheers,
Jon
