Automatic temperment changer?

Hi, I've been watching a few videos about the origins of the 12 note scale and about just and equal temperments. I was wondering - is there an easy way to control tunings per chord in a DAW? I.e. every chord will be played in the just tuning for that chord...

There is a way to do exactly that in Vienna Instruments Pro; I never heard of anything in a DAW.
It supports scala and will set the scale to whatever tonic you choose. It applies this to a matrix, which is the way its 'cells' (rows of articulations) may be organized So you indicate 'Just Intonation' on 'C' say and when you want to modulate elsewhere you tell another matrix (could just be a duplicate for this purpose) Just Intonation on 'G' or whatever. And you can simply roll your own scala file since it's not more than a text document formatted to be a scala and saved with its extension. But a basic 'Just' is one of the presets. But this is just going to work with their libraries so...
In a DAW you can implement scala another way, as a MIDI. Which is pitch bend data to alter the default 12tET. So you'd just do it per track. Just google 'Scala' and find the site, all kind of stuff is there to download.

Something like Hermode Tuning? http://www.hermode.com/index_en.html might be interesting for you. Logic and Cubase seem to support this, but I have no experience with it.

I believe Rick James has the best Automatic temperament changers... Sorry terrrible joke.
But I read that thread title as I was downing my morning ATC (sorry coffee).
But yeah Scala!
I was reading this about Falcon vsti the other day, sounds like a good implementation.

googling 'scala' by itself today produced a whole page re the programming language...
