Help! Tuning keyboard via MIDI

[Avitarmcp]

I have a project and I want to throw some keys behind it. How ever I need to tune my keyboard to the tracks I've already cut. Is there a way I can tune my keyboard via MIDI? or am I screwed? Your help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

That depends on the synth you're using to generate the sounds controlled by the MIDI commands. Chin up- even my almost not a keyboard Yamaha keyboard has this capability built into the onboard synth.

The next most probable technique in line would be retuning the audio track, but I don't think that would sound as good.

Normally there's a way to tune all keyboards. Some have a screw somewhere hidden on the backside or below, others have a menu, ...

Tuning it via midi would be 'overshoot'. Some keyboards will allow that, but since it's not a standard midi-command, you would have to do it using midi-SysEx (System exclulsive, this is specific for each brand/keyboard)... And if they allow tuning via midi, they will allow it via a menu or some other way too, so I'd find out about that first. Should be alot easier than SysEx.
