Re-Tunable PC-Based Synth/Sequencer

A guy on the synth do-it-yourself list yesterday turned me on to a
PC-based synth/sequencer program called VAZ+ ( Virtual Analogue Synth
Emulator Software ), which only costs $35 USA! It has a Master Tuning
preference. I don't know the exact details in terms of whether pitches
can be specified as frequencies and/or in cents, how many tones per
octave are allowed, or what the tuning resolution is, but I've e-mailed
the company and the person who told me about it, and will post any
further info when I get it.

There is also a free demo of the program (which DOESN'T contain the
re-tunability feature) available for download, for anybody who would
like to check out the more general features of the synthesis and
sequencing aspects of the program.

This looks like an entry-level product that the alternate tuning
community can really get behind, so please try it out, if you get a
chance.

VAZ+ requires either Windows 95 or NT. This is because 32bit
performance was essential for the program. On a 486/66 PC playback at
22kHz is possible. A Pentium system will easily manage 44kHz. The
program defaults to a conservative 11kHz settings when first run.

Full details and screen shots of the synthesis and sequencing windows
are available at:
