"From https://hpi.zentral.zone/tbx1:

Got a standard MIDI keyboard? Retune it! TBX1 makes retuning as easy as pushing a button. Attach this little box to your synth and you can make any key play any pitch you want. It comes preloaded with 128 tunings for you to try out, and stores tuning tables in 4 layers, totaling over 500 tunings, which you can easily edit with Custom Scale Editor (cross-platform software, license included). Set up your own tuning, upload it to TBX1, and plug into any General MIDI controller and synthesizer to make your music. Portable and ready for the stage, TBX1 can also run for eight hours on batteries.
