Microtuning Plugins in Renoise without MTS?

Maybe someone can clarify this for me. I was looking for a way to microtune a plugin (QuadraSID), that doesn’t have MTS-ESP support so I asked Mistral AI how to do that and I think the answer is wrong and got me a little bit confused.

Mistral AI answer:
Use Renoise’s Native Microtuning
Renoise itself supports microtuning via .scl (scale) and .kbm (keyboard mapping) files. You can load these in the Instrument Properties > Tuning tab. This will retune all notes sent from Renoise to your plugin, even if the plugin itself doesn’t support microtuning.
How to:
Load your plugin as an instrument.
In the instrument properties, go to the Tuning tab.
Load your .scl and .kbm files.
All notes played from Renoise will now be retuned before reaching the plugin.


Afaik I can only use XRNI with .scl tuning files or plugins, that are supported by MTS-ESP. It would make sense, because why would renoise have MTS support if it can tune everything without it. So that robot is wrong, right ?

AI is always wrong.

In this case it missed a step where you make an xrni with the plugin grabber.

The damn robot race must burn then. I use the plugin grabber often, but sometimes the xrni comes out sounding differently for some mysterious reason. Anyway, thanks for confirmation. I guess that was one. :slight_smile:
