Hello.

Recently I bought a m-audio axiom 25 USB keyboard. I've tried it out
with ableton live and adobe audition and so far I like it.
However, I'm still a bit puzzled how I can tune the keyboard?
I'd like to be able to specify specific frequencies for each
individual key, so I can play pieces in alternative tuning systems
(like just intonation).

Does anyone know how this can be accomplished most easily?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Niek

Niek, I don't know your state of knowledge, so permit me to point out
something very basic. From the product description, the Axiom25 is a "MIDI
controller." This means that the keyboard itself does not generate any
tones. It merely sends signals of switch closure via the MIDI protocol to
the computer. The computer must run a "synth" program or plugin that
interprets the MIDI signals.

A program is a standalone software that creates the tones. A plugin is an
addition to a program, and it does the same thing. Each program has
different provisions for tuning. Some offer a selection of scales, ie.,
tempered or nontempered.

Now an expert on synths can step up!
