Yes.

I added WAVmaker to the Microtonal synthesis web site. WAVmaker is a MIDI
to wave rendering program, which means it generates the audio files in
non-realtime. The resolution to .00000000000000000001 Hz was pretty
impressive. Polyhedric Software's other programs do not have builtin
microtuning features.
