The layout and sound and many other things can be configured in Scale Workshop; check the other tabs! | Then pick one of the many microtonally-capable [[DAWs]] for working with, get familiar with it (if you aren't already) and look up how to retune to your tuning system of choice, or if you want to take a more direct approach, you can try various scales in [[Scale Workshop]] online with essentially no set-up required, by using your keyboard as a rough MIDI input.
