Detection of pitches to semitone accuracy simply isn't good enough
anyway. Keyboards are the exception among instruments--most other
instruments can be played with microtonal sensibility, with pitch being yet
another means for artistic expressiion. Even MIDI keyboards have
pitchwheels, and many have the option of being set up with tunings other
than 12-tone equal temperament.
