Mark,







Thanks so much for this heads up.  BTW, I wasn't chasing that wild goose: We just happened to both be running, in the same direction, and he just happened to be ahead of me! :-)

As to specific instruments that contain these facilities, starting way 
back in the 80s and 90s, Kurzweil 1000, 2000, and 2500 series synths had 
various temperaments built in. My recent portable Yamaha P120 digital 
piano has half a dozen HTs. I'm sure there are many others, but I don't 
know names offhand. I would suggest a query to Sweetwater Sound, and 
possibly directly to Yamaha, Korg, Roland, Nord, and other 
manufacturers' tech support. 

 


I hope this saves you from chasing a wild goose when dinner's already on 
the table, or at least in the pantry.  :-)
