			I just want to mention that I plan to keep in my user area a "Director's Cut" version (my original work) of the articles I write. That way I can refer people to it if I believe that later editors of the main area's published page have turned it wonky. It happens. :-)

New page

== Intro to the proposed new page ==

This is a proposal for a new page or set of pages. Although much of the relevant info will be in the Tuning Methods page itself, some other info might best be split out into its own page (e.g. there is already an [[Anamark tuning file format]] page). Also, any how-to [[:Category:Guides]] pages would be separate, and links could be provided to existing outside how-to instructions that have text or video format (urgh...link maintenance sucks).

This writing needs to use descriptions that apply to both hardware (integrated synth & component systems) and software (standalone and plugin) instruments. Because this would probably grow unwieldy if the writing went into to much depth about *how* the provided information applies to each those types of instruments, it would be best to create as separate pages any how-to details or implementation-specific info, beyond very general statements (e.g. that users may choose a tuning with a drop-down menu selector or by loading an outside tuning file). Those additional pages might be instrument-specific (e.g. how to implement the various tuning methods in the Kontakt sampler system) or method-specific (how to use SCL/KBM files in several popular electronic or virtual instruments. I defer deciding which of those two is preferable. The main Tuning Methods article is not a how-to or a guide.

I'm inventing a distinction between "Tuning plugins" (that operate within a plugin chain) and "Retuners" (standalone apps) even though tuning plugins have been understood as a subset of retuners. People are calling them "tuning plugins" and not using the term retuners, so this makes sense to me.

The description of each component that has an alternative, e.g. tuning files vs. direct tuning, Kontakt scripts vs. Scala tuning, needs to state the advantages and disadvantages of that component compared to common alternatives.
