Yep. AFAIK, the entire Proteus family has the same tuning table, which is in
1.5-cent increments. For sample-based instruments, that's not really so bad,
I think, since the samples themselves aren't always recorded with tuning even
that accurate. You really have to watch yourself. Still, it seems adequate
for ETs and for JI up to a limit higher than I can climb yet.
