Well I was only talking about 12tET, if youre working in 16tET then its 1/16. If your working in a non ET scale then its non trivial, but we know that. Your piano argument is not really a problem as its the piano mechaism that generates the off-notes, that would be done at the midi->pitch stage, sureley? By the time it reaches the oscilators its allready been shifted. Maye I'm thinking at a different scope to you, but I view things like big complex sequencers as working outside this API, for ont thing it will have the same GUI issues as LADSPA. - Steve
