Excellent news: .TUN V2.0 and new .MSF microtuning file formats are now implemented in Anamark 2.25
As some of you know, the expansion of the .TUN tuning/scale file format started as a response on the Tuning List to my proposal for a new format (language) for scale files called TuningXML, which I left in draft form at the end of last year.
Development of the advanced .TUN format took place in discussion on the KVR forum between Anamark programmer and inventor of .TUN Mark Henning, and myself. As far as I know, no other developers took part in the discussion.
The threads on KVR which lead to the new .TUN standard are here:
Topic: [TUN] Database usage Topic: [TUN] TUN Information content Topic: [TUN] Proposal for revising .TUN-Format (Micro-Tuning)The discussion led to .TUN V2.0 and the new .MSF (multiple scale file) format, both creations of Mark Henning, which incorporate many new advanced features for tuning files. Now that these new advanced features have been implemented in Anamark 2.25, and since .TUN is a widely supported format for retunable softsynths, softsynth developers should follow the leader and get their products up to speed with the new features. In addition to getting back to TuningXML development, I'll be supporting the new formats as exporting options in CSE and TPXE (the previous version of .TUN is already supported by both programs).
