Many synth architectures allow oscillators at different tunings to be  
mixed. A common trick I use on the Wavestation is to vector-mix  
waveforms tuned in fifths and octaves. And then to detune via chorus.  
Which bit of that is at 261.63 Hz?

This is why I maintain that MIDI is about pressing keys, not about  
creating frequencies. If you want to control frequencies via  a  
protocol, then that's a realtime synthesis system, not a keyboard 
+wheels+pedals performance system.
