  • Abstract
    MIDI has intrinsic limitations that have held back the development of flexible microtunable systems. The author evaluates previous solutions and address the problem of pervasive microtuning in MIDI networks within the context of the general weaknesses and underusage of MIDI technology. Then the author describes the prototyped and patent-pending solution called U-Tune, which involves implementing pervasive microtuning over a MIDI network.
