 I was also able to do 19-tone Equal on my ESQ-M by editing every voice that
 I wanted to use and scaling the pitch control. So for a while I was using
 these three machines to play with some MT. However, those machines had such
 poor tuning resolution that it really wasn't a fair test of alternate
 tunings.
 Didn't Carlos use the Synergy for her early microtonal works? I picked up a
 Kurzweil K2000 because she seems to swear by those now, doing most of her
 work with two of them MIDI'd together, but I honestly haven't had much time
 to spend with it recently, or to figure out the tuning tables.****<<

This got me to thinking.  The Roland JV series also allows setting the 
individual 12 frequecies per scale.  If you wanted to get 19 microtonal notes 
per scale on a synth that allows the above 12 note manipulation, you could 
maybe create two patches in multi-timbral mode, each with tuned notes 
covering part of a scale.  One midi channel controls the first 12 notes, and 
another midi channel controls the additional 7, so now you can get your 19 
(or any number) note scale.
