Xen

This VSTi plugin allows you to globally set and modulate the tuning system via MTS-ESP or to transform input MIDI to MPE in the given tuning system. A basic non-tweakable synthesizer is used to playback your MIDI inputs in the desired tuning system. This is intended to be used to test if everything works correctly, but you usually wanna mute the plugin. The plugin also outputs the modified MIDI data, which is especially useful in MPE mode.

--- Parameters ---

Mode: You can either run the plugin in MPE or MTS-ESP Mode.

Xen: The xen scale describes how many pitch classes per octave exist. The most common xen scale is 12 edo.

Anchor Pitch: The pitch (note number) at which the anchor frequency is the same in all xen scales.

Anchor Freq: The frequency at which the anchor pitch sounds the same in all xen scales.

Pitchbend Range: If you use MPE, this parameter has to be aligned with the pb range of the target synth.

Steps in 12: Instead of giving you unique pitch classes for each note, it picks the pitches that are the closest to 12tet from your tuning system.
