Kent, Bingo. Great to know. Gotta love this list!

Either can easily provide the setup that was mentioned, that is, a MIDI controller keyboard and a menu of various non-equal temperaments. I have demonstrated such a setup both with Pianoteq and the Garritan Steinway. So yes, this is most definitely "out there already".
