The MIDI Tuning Standard (MTS) is a specification that allows for the tuning of musical instruments in a way that extends beyond the traditional equal temperament tuning system commonly used in Western music. Introduced in the early 1990s, MTS provides a means for MIDI-compatible instruments and devices to communicate detailed pitch information, allowing for alternative tuning systems and custom tunings to be utilized.
