Intun

Intun is a MIDI relaying program that will retune your MIDI module with use of pitch bends. Click on the link just below to download it. I'd also reccomend you download Hubi's MIDI Loopback Device or MIDI Yoke to go with it, as they add much functionality to the program (you can play MIDI files through the relay). This program was based on the ideas in Graham Breed's MIDI Relay, which does most of the things that Intun does. If you have any comments or questions, let me know (my e-mail address appears at the bottom of this page). Unfortunately I no longer have the source code for this, so no further porting or modification is possible.

Hubi's MIDI Loopback, and MIDI Tools are freeware programs originally found at Hubi's site. I found the MIDI Tools very helpful in programming and testing Intun, and the Loopback Device is almost essential for making good use of Intun. An alternative to Hubi's loopback is the MIDI Yoke.
