Roland,

I think the APS drivers predate the MIDI spec that you are referring to.
(Too bad)  I have heard of people adjusting soundfonts to acheive scales
outside of equal temperment (most time consuming and not flexible) and the
other suggestion has been to use pitch bends (pain in the...)

I am not sure that there is an easy fix for what you are looking for.  To my
knowledge it is rare for even soft synths to have such a feature ( I think
VaZ Modular has a 'scale tuning' function but other than that I don't know
of any.)   I am not that familiar with some of the newer software samplers
(Gigasampler and Unity) but I would hope that they may be more capable in
this area.

I am most curious how you intend to apply Octave Scale Tuning and what style
(or tradition) of music you are working with.
