Actually even having an additional note between C and C# would be microtuning already.
No you can't have 1 cent precision microtuning, but what Michael says something around 3-4 cent is realistic. And practically it is very difficult to hear any difference between the 2 next to each other values (lets say 4 cent). Even more if they are not next to each other anymore.
What comes in there additionally is linearity of oscillators, cable lengths and it's resistance caused by that, jack resistances. perfect calibration of both...etc.
So basically a hard job to have everything perfect (even with 16 bit DAC) and once you have everything perfect, it is not in tune anymore.
Getting back to NerdSEQ scaling functionality:
With the things mentioned already about my ideas. The usual suspects for scaling will be there, also very few user scales including a microtuning for each note (this then within the 3-4 cent possibilities.). This is the best I can do with the hardware platform.
While the standard scales will cover 99.x percent of the users, the microtuning for individual notes is only for a hand full of people. Still I plan to include this.
All the exotic stuff like with Alpha notes or different substeps in octaves seems to me a total overkill, nice for a musical study, but time intensive to implement in the current situation and I guess if anyone would use it at all.
