Motu Symph Patches in Mach5. Tunings?

Hello, wise ones.

I have MSI and I think that MSI has some nice barocque organ sounds. The only "slight" problem is that I cannot change tuning in MSI, equally tempered tuning is the only option. I can open MSI soundbank in UVI Workstation which, alas!, provides no tuning options.

As I understand, it would be possible to open MSI sounds in Mach5 and also change tuning. Am I right?

Of course I am looking into other options such as purchasing some organ sounds in Kontakt format etc.

You can open and play the MSI sounds in Mach5, but you still won't be able to change the individual samples.

As a workaround, if you are trying to do something like a baroque tuning or just intonation or something like that you can do the following. It's kludgy, but it allows you to get around the missing intonation table in most VIs.

After recording your MIDI sequence, use the split function to separate all the pitch classes to their own MIDI channel (Cs to ch. 1, C#s to ch. 2, etc.). Apply the relevant amount of pitch bend to each channel to create the tuning you want. There are a number of guides and tables available online for alternate tunings, as well as the freeware software Scala.
