Microtonality and the 200e

2006-10-09 by Alex Pi

Hello
As I stated before I don't have a 200e and I am searching for more  
specific info in order to buy.
I love every aspect of that synth, I see it as the culmination of  
analog synthesis.
The thing I can't seem to find more info about is microtonality with  
the instrument.
I want to use the 200e with the Terpstra keyboard (www.cortex- 
design.com) and the continuum fingerboard(www.hakenaudio.com).
The things I want to know are:
How do you set scales?
I learned from Mr. Buchla that there is a constant 10 cent  
uncertainty in the tuning resolution.
Does this mean that you can only tune in tenths of a semitone,
or that you can tune in whatever tuning but have a 10 cent  
uncertainty due to oscillator tracking?
The continuum fingerboard uses pitch bend information from the  
instrument in order to achieve a resolution of 1 cent.
I guess the 200e's pitch bend resolution will handle this.
