Update on midi - midi is quite tricky in combination with polyphonic microtonality as the pitch bend on most midi keyboards affects all sounding pitches simultaneously. We're planning to circumvent the issue of midi-in through using chord memory, and in the longer term midi-out could take place via OSC.
At some point we're also to build a hardware synth that has the Tuning Vine interface built into it, rather than the piano keyboard. In a sense it's actually contradictory to use a piano keyboard for Just Intonation, as the keyboard is one-dimensional, whereas Just Intonation is multidimensional.
If you let us know which soft synths you're interested in tuning in Just Intonation, and whether you're interested in continuing to use the piano keyboard as the main interface, that would help us plan for future updates.
