Scala provides high-end tools for tuning constructions, Mutabor is focused on dynamic tunings and zynaddsubfx is a synthesizer with tuning support. | |

True just intonation requires constant adjustment of the tuning of certain notes, which is not possible with a keyboard. Lots of people say that "just intonation makes the keyboard sound best in one key," but even in only one key you either have some chords that are out of tune or you have to make compromises in the tuning, at which point you no longer have just intonation but some temperament. | |

If you own one then read the manual - maybe it can? | |
