I made a slight error in the last message re: tg77 retuning.

Actually, 01 in this bit would indicate note number 64 to 127.
so, given the following parameter change message:

> 2;sysevent $43 $10 $34 $0B $00 $00 $02 $27 $01 end sysevent

Bit5 is the synths user definable internal tuning table, either 00 or 01
bit 6 is either 00 for notes 0-63 or 01 for notes 64- 127.
bit 7 is the note to retune, even hex value only from 00 to 7E, inclusive
bit 8 is coarse tuning
bit 9 is fine tuning
