looking for midi software for alternate tunings

Hi guys!

I subscribed to this list long time ago but this's the first time I
intervene

I'm interested in using a MIDI system (XG or GS) to explore alternate
tunings in a more elegant way. Are there any sequencers for this?
Does MIDI support different tunings?

XG and GS use MIDI system exclusive messages which are supported by any
competent sequencer. See my web site at
http://freeweb.pdq.net/jloffink/GS_XG.html for many scales and their
corresponding GS and XG SysEx codes.

The MIDI tuning standard is part of the MIDI specification and is supported
by newer Ensoniq and Emu synthesizers. There are tuning utilities which
support it directly, and since it uses SysEx codes then sequencers support
it as well as long as you're willing to write the codes yourself.
