- Communicates with hardware instruments through any MIDI interface
and with sequencers and softsynths directly using inter-application
MIDI communication.
- Hardware synths with sysex retuning support are retuned
directly using their own protocols through MIDI. Instruments
which are not retunable can now be retuned through MIDI by
using the powerful Nuscale real-time
tuning module which can tune multiple instruments at
once to the same or different tunings, as well as adding
new expressive musical capabilities.
