Stretch tuning would make sense for small niches of synthesized instruments that lie beyond the typical musician or sound designer's skills and tastes: - physical models that strive for realism enough to reproduce a defect - deliberately inharmonic additive synthesis - carefully designed FM/PM synthesis Conversely, popular synthesis methods, particularly subtractive synthesis, are usually perfectly harmonic and do not need stretch tuning.
