H-Pi Instruments launches microsynth, a polyphonic multi-timbral microtonal synth for Mac.
"Most software synthesizers do not allow control over the tuning of output pitches. Those which do provide tuning control usually have only the most basic and limited features. microsynth is different, providing complete control over tuning, allowing multiple tunings of up to 2048 unique pitches, options for automated switching between different tunings, and real-time changes of scale Keys, Maps and Octaves. Whereas the majority of software synthesizers are mono-timbral, the full version of microsynth is also 16-part multi-timbral, providing 16 tracks which can all operate independently in terms of tuning. microsynth is compatible with any MIDI controller, including U-PLEX and TPX keyboards, and can communicate with sequencing and notation software such as Sibelius, Finale, Logic, Digital Performer, etc. Output can be recorded as .wav files for importing into any DAW"
