This small form-factor MicroTuning module allows individual control of the tuning for the notes in the standard 12-note scale. The design was inspired by the micro tuning available on some vintage Korg polyphonic modular synths and allows alternate tunings to be applied, as well as manual imperfections for a vintage feel.

The module takes mono and poly inputs (defaulting to the I/O Panel) and allows +/-100 cent adjustment for each note in the 12-note scale. The tuning has a fixed set of micro-tuning presets available as well as the ability to load Scala tuning files. The preset tunings were largely sourced from http://www.microtonal-synthesis.com. The module can also be used to manually detune notes to get a more vintage feel.

Due to the way the module identifies the notes, this module should always be used as the first in the chain of modules affecting the 1V/OCT pitch control as it uses the voltage to infer the note being played. It can also be used with the new A440 Master Tuning module (which should be used after this module).
