	Eric, aka mouse, has been an amateur musician for many years. Trained in the Western classical music tradition, he plays flute and frame drums, and also creates music in DAWs. After being a life-long listener to classical Indian music, he's also been studying Hindustani raga with an experienced teacher. Drawing together his enjoyment of xenharmonic tunings with the just intonation of classical Indian music, he's been deepening his knowledge and understanding through study and creation. His focus here at the Xenharmonic Wiki is on beginner guides for practical tuning issues, basic foundational articles helpful to people just getting into the musical worlds outside 12-EDO tunings, and support for musicians playing classical Indian music who want to use microtonal electronic instruments.

	* Category: Tuning mechanisms. Probably not that category name, but something that would encompass all articles about how electronic instruments are made to adhere to alternative (non-12-EDO) tunings. "Practical tuning" or "Tuning practices" or "Tuning technique" (currently in use but deprecated with redirect) or "Tuning practice" perhaps? I note that the current [[:Category:Tuning\|Category:Tuning]] is about the theoretical side and not at all the practical side. However, it might instead be best to stick everything in there, practical and theoretical, although that's not the direction I currently lean toward.		* Category: Tuning mechanisms.

	Below is a list of existing pages (still expanding by search, as of August 2023) relevant to beginners who want to set their electronic instruments to other than 12-EDO tuning. Synth/sampler manuals frequently don't provide enough background information, instead assuming you already know something about tuning files.		Below is a list of existing pages (still expanding by search, as of August 2023) relevant to beginners who want to set their electronic instruments to other than 12-EDO tuning. Synth/sampler manuals frequently don't provide enough background information, instead assuming you already know something about tuning files.

	It's useful to consider the trajectory of beginners newly arriving at the wiki. The wiki's [[Main Page\|front page]] has a section "If you are new to musical tuning" that doesn't get into practical how-to issues, but the page also has a very appropriate and helpful section "Practical xenharmonics" ([[Useful Tools]], [[List of microtonal software plugins]], [[Microtonal instruments]]). "Useful tools" simply redirects to the "[[List of music software]]" page, which seems sensible if inconsistent. ~~Note~~ that the wiki's main sidebar also includes a section "Practice" with links underneath to some essential starting points for people seeking practical tuning guidance, especially "Software" and (of less relevance to this work) "Pedagogy."

			Related to that visitor's initial likely trajectory, note that the wiki's main sidebar also includes a section "Practice" with links underneath to some essential starting points for people seeking practical tuning guidance, especially "Software" and (of less relevance to this work) "Pedagogy." Also in that sidebar, "Useful Tools" (redirects to [[List of music software]]) is listed under "Theory" which is odd unless you know how useful the "practice" tools are for better understanding theory.
