technical implementation of tuning parameter

Today I decided to check how the MPC's note tuning parameter is stored in a standard midifile. Here are my results. I know, I know, rarely anyone will use this but sometimes I am a bit of a tek nerd

If anyone ever runs into, needs to look for, or edit the MPC note tuning data in a midifile or an external sequencer here is how it is implemented:

- If a note event has tuning t = 0 then the note is stored as a normal note
- If a note event has t != 0 then the note is stored as the following sysex string (decimal):

240 71 95 0 127 1 channel pitch velocity Dbyte1 Dbyte2 Dbyte3 tMSB tLSB 247
(D = duration)

240 71 95 0 127 1 nnnnnnnn 247
startbyte akaiID z48ID userrefs section item nnnnnnnn stopbyte

as for the tuning MSB and LSB, here is the table with tuning t from t=120 > t=-120
t, tMSB tLSB;
