I have two requests that are almost certainly too far afield, but hey, why not? First, Hermode Tuning would be awesome. Some (few) instruments have it already, but Logic is the only sequencer (thus far) to offer it. Huge, fantastic feature, and offering it in a DAW vs. a VSTi gives added advantages (offline processing for bouncing to perfect harmonic tuning).

Also, what about native microtonal support a la Scala? A good number of popular synths (Albino, Alpha, Cameleon5000, Dimension Pro, z3ta+, and others) can load Scala tuning files; having host support would be really great.

Hermode tuning and microtonality need to be supported by the instrument plugin. MIDI notes sent from the host are integer numbers representing keys, so the host cannot adjust these for different tunings. I don’t know how Logic implements this. Perhaps it just works with their own instruments, or maybe there is something in the OSX AudioUnit plugin protocol that supports tuning setup from the host.
