ill have to look at the book when i get to the office later, but  
offhand a value 108 looks to be a typo
channel tuning in cm3 its divisions-per-semitone 1 to 16 so 1 is  
standard semitone tuning, 2 is quarter tone, and 16 is a quantization  
of 6.25 cents

you can get a good idea of whats going on if you use the Midi  
Out>Tuning>   menu

or read the doc on mp:tuning  -- in the editor click  on the word  
mp:tuning  and hit Command-D

send("mp:tuning", 1)

remeber you will only actually hear microtuning if you actually  
generate floating point keynums, eg  60.1   where .1 means 10 cents  
above key 60
