All I want for christmas is micro tuning :-)

Here's a question: has anyone here succeeded in making the mcv4 or the
a-190 respond properly to 'microtuned' midinotes where the original midi
note-value is modified with a certain amound of pitch-bend to retune the
note to a certain tuning

I tried this with Tobybear Microtune (a vst midi plugin) and mcv4,
a-190, a-111 and plan b model 15, but no satisfying results. I can't get
the pitchbend to add up to the note value properly, resulting in weird
note values all over the place. I'm not even sure if it can work in
theory, as the remarks in the manual warn about the limitations of the
use of pitchbending. But I *am* sure the Tobybear software works,
because the dx7 responds like it should (unlike some other retuning
software, that didn't work at all on my system).

By the way, a reaction to the suggestion by Jari: I think th coolest
thing for a digital microtuning module would be the possibility to
upload .tun or .scl files via midi sys ex as this has become the
standard format for tuning, and there is lots of scales available (and
of course the free software Scala to generate tuning files).
