Not being able to name a tuning is a bit annoying. I thought you could save and load a tuning as a bulk tuning dump sysx or, at least, that's what Proteum seems to be doing (it's another area I can't remember very well). I think it will also allow you to import Scala scale files and does either octave mode (a change to D changes all the Ds across the keyboard) or note mode (where a change to a note only affects that note). I never spent that long on tuning tables because I wasn't really sure what people would want to do with them.

I edited the tuning of the notes I didn't want to hear to be the same as the notes I did want to hear. it's a bit laborious, but you can get the patch to stay in key & you can also get a bit creative with microtonal stuff, to emulate real CV/gate synths for instance, or more exotic instruments.
