Global "detune" parameter in Operator

I guess I'm one of the few that cares about microtonality with synths on this forum, but here goes:

This would allow you to rack numerous (88 or so?) Operators in monophonic mode. Then you could key map each instance of Operator to an individual key and discretely tune each one +/- 50 cents for non 12 tone equal tempered scale generation.

Of course, this could all be avoided by allowing Operator to load tuning files, but there would still be the advantage with this method in that it would allow each key-mapped note to be discretely tuned. This currently works with one instance of Sampler, btw (no racks needed).

What? Does this not make sense to anyone? Everyone is fine with only 12 colours to paint with?

Oh, hokay . . .

I only use 5 colors... All black

Really? That's awesome.

Do you really use pentatonic scales a lot?

I'm just annoyed because Operator is a really good synth and it seems it is thwarting me at every step to find a workaround to get microtonality out of it.

Maybe there is a free midi plug in that detunes by cents? Anyone? Because even Ableton's midi pitch plug is no help . . .

Yes,.. I wish there was this function.

I regularly end up with notes on my operator patches that are slightly flat or sharp, and its not consistent across the scale.

I am currently writing a bassline that is super simple, just D and C, but the D is very sharp, the C is bang on. Does my head in. A simple bassline should be perfect.

I would also love to have this option. I am annoyed when this option is unavailable.
Seriously limiting

I've very interested in microtuning.

Could you walk me how you accomplish it with Sampler?

My workaround is like this: What you can do is finetune any of the four oscillators with the parameter "Fine". So if I want to finetune the whole Operator I just MIDI map all 4 of them to the same knob. However you can only finetune upwards, but if you need to go down a simple MIDI pitch shifter in front of the Operator will take care of that.
Hope this helps anyone struggling with this problem
