Hi folks,
I am using Pianoteq 5 as a VST in Max7 and I would like to change tuning without having to access the standard Pianoteq GUI, is this possible?
I know that tuning can also be changed via MIDI sysex messages, but being able to recall a whole tuning file with one message would be more handy. Also, if the same thing was also possible with keymap file, that would be absolutely perfect.
Thank you for any tips!

Here are the only options available for command line:
C:\Program Files\Modartt\Pianoteq 5>Pianoteq version 5.7.1/20160608 -- http://www.pianoteq.com
Copyright (c) 2016 Modartt.
Options from command-line:
--help : show this help, and quit
--version : show current version number and date, and quit
--no-prefs : start Pianoteq without using any saved preference
--no-audio-prefs : start Pianoteq with a clean audio/midi configuration
--prefs FILENAME : stores the preferences in the specified file
--fxp FILENAME : load an FXP file on startup
--preset NAME : load a preset on startup
--list-presets : display the list of all presets
--midimapping NAME: load a midimapping preset on startup
--midi FILENAME : load a midi file
--wav FILENAME : export midi file as wav, and quit
--rate FREQ : change the sample rate for the exported wav
--bit-depth D : change the bit-depth for the exported wav (16,24 or 32)
--dither ON/OFF : turn dithering when exporting on or off
--mono : export the wav file as mono
--headless : do not show the graphical interface
--fullscreen : start in fullscreen mode
--play : immediately start playing the midi file
--play-and-quit : start playing the midi file, and quit when it ends
Example of use: Pianoteq --preset "U4 Small" --midi foo.mid --wav foo.wavUnfortunately it looks like there's no way to do what you want other than sysex.
I would also love to see this implemented. I'm building a VR MIDI controller that has a UI to specify tunings. It is much more straightforward and flexible to specify a scala file than to send detunings over SYSEX.
Oooh look at that it works!
./Pianoteq\ 7.exe --open "C:\path\to\file\awesome-tuning.scl"
Possibly I have misunderstood the topic here but the tunings saved in Pianoteq can be called by user-selectable MIDI messages.
