If you put these audio samples into .exs files (from any audio format) you can immediately microtune them any way you fancy using Logic Pro 7.
For anyone interested; here's how to do it:

...where it mentions the hoops one must jump through if you want more
than 12 notes per octave in your tuning. And we should mention it is a
Mac OS program, just so other platform users are aware.

Isn't this 12-tone/oct only?

Two problems with Logic is that it's very expensive, and
it only runs on a Mac (which is also very expensive).

But it's great to see Hermode tuning has been implemented.
