Converting 12TET to 24TET....
2 projects | /r/microtonal | 26 Sep 2022

https://github.com/hselasky/midipp supports 192 TET and there are some filters, see help section, that automagically microtone the input . Then you just round to the nearest TET. The difference is not noticable. Can playback this using SYSEX on ZynAddSubFX (3.0.6) https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zynaddsubfx

I suggest that you look into open source audio synthetizers (like https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zynaddsubfx) to see the approach they use.

I have reversed engineered SysEx control of it, which let's you push setup/patches a bit further than official tools. https://github.com/mungewell/uno-synth-utils
