To me it seems like you do not have to have an application aware of pitches (unless you feel uncomfortable using conventional notation for custom-assigned pitches -- i.e. c is c, c# is a bit flat, d is more like c# etc. so you'd need 2 conventional octaves for one 24-pitch microtonal octave). Many contemporary composers do this -- alter existing notation so that it can serve their purpose. Assuming from your e-mail is that you may be comfortable with modern notation, so I'd suggest simply using external midi module where you'd edit the sound patches to have this kind of detuning, or even better a sampler of some sorts. Then, you'd simply pass a conventional midi file to hear gamelan-like tunings that are produced by the external midi module (or any other tunings for that matter).
That being said, I do agree with you that this would be a neat feature within a sequencer without continuously employing fixed pitch-bend wheel values.
