Yamaha FSR-1

Speaking of music gear... Oh, sorry; wrong list. ;-)

Anyone out there use a Yamaha FSR-1 for microtonal music making?
I have been considering getting one, but it's not micro-tunable
out of the box, so I guess one would need to use the pitch-bend method
in real-time. Is anyone doing this?

Does anyone have software, in C-source-code form for Windows,
that can read an incoming MIDI stream in real-time; parse out
note-ons; adjust them via pitch-bend in real-time; then send
to MIDI-out? I don't need a GUI, just a DOS comman-line thing
would do even; as long as the tuning tables can be changed...

It sounds as if Graham Breed's MIDI Relay would be perfect for you, and
he even provides source code for those who want it. It's in C++ ; is
that close enough to C?

Yeah, I've got that, more or less. But I'm not quite ready to share
it. You could go to Justonic and buy their stuff. I'm likely going
to buy it soon to compare with mine. My hunch now is that mine is
better for my purposes. What are your purposes?
