Hi,
My understanding from a MIDI perspective is that you need an instrument that
supports quarter-tone tuning. I know that Roland made models of some of
their units that were available as quarter-toned tuning. I have a Kurzweil
K2600 here that supports something like 30 different tunings, though I must
admit I've never messed around with them (shame on me). MIDI doesn't care
about your tuning map - it effectively just presses/releases the given key
on the keyboard for you then it's down to the synthesis engine to render it
at a given pitch.
Best wishes.

Hi there Saeed,
I take it you mean having key signatures including quarter tones (E.G.
having an A that is between A and A Sharp)? I myself am quite curious about
this. Also, I'd be glad to know if it would be possible to play that note
using Midi. Looking at the way Midi notes are generated using computer
binary notation, I don't see a way for quarter notes to fit in, but I
thought I'd still ask, just to be sure.
Thanks!
