MD as a synth vs MM as a drummachine

MD can’t be perfectly tuned chromatically, except for samples, with a limited range, up to +/- 51 values IIRC (+/- 1 octave and a half, maybe more). 3 values = 1 semitone.

There is a pitch chart for several machines (not all).

I used it matching midi control changes with a midi processor. Pretty complicated, not personally satisfied.
