In quarter tone music, one midi channel should split in two. The reason for that is that in the current midi specification the whole channel becomes fine tuned.
There are at least two possible to implement this: A) Restructuring the channel choosing mechanism: To check each channel beforehand whether they are 'no-split' or 'split in two': Channels: 1 <2 3> 4 B) "On Top" extra channel choosing mechanism: To creater an extra channel 'in need' which is attached to that channel Start : 1 2 3 4 In need : 1 <2-5> 3 4 <5-2> As a result, that would allow, for example, chords which contain both quarter- and half-tones, eg. <c fih>. Also, if one switches between quarter tone and half tone notes (eg. c cih cis deh), some midi sequecers do not handle the switching properly, but make the switch either too early or too late. In an other context, there would also be need to place midi notes into separate channales. Namely, some midi sequencers (e.g. in hand phones) are able to handle only one-note-per-channel. Therefore, a mechanism that would optionally place notes of a chord (eg. <c e g>) into separate channels is needed.
