Tuning in ProTools

I'm not around very much so forgive me if someone has already responded to this question.

Anybody know how to do tuning within Protools. You can pitch shift audio in cents but of
course that screws up the sound. MIDI transposing only allows you to transpose in
semitones. My Kurzweil allows me to create different tunings, but then I have to only use the
Kurzweil sounds (the tuning section is in the Sound Module of the Kurzweil, not the
controller).

None of the software sound modules I use have the capability to be retuned to Just or
Pythagorean (or whatever I want).

I'm hoping there is some type of work around or a companion program to use without
changing over to another program completely.

Thanks so much,
David

The last time that I looked at Pro Tools they couldn't microtune.

A work-around might be to use Logic 7 or above, and maybe with Melodyne for the audio tracks.
