| There has not been a successful tuning wiki...yet. But this shall try to be. Here's what Jacob wrote about the idea a year ago on [[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/MakeMicroMusic/|MMM]]:

| //I think that having one is a good idea, for many reasons. Dredging through archives of Yahoo groups is an inefficient way of finding any sort of specific information. Doubtless we can make things easier for first-timers, everyone really, if we can free our collective knowledge (and opinions) from the mandatory chronologically-based system here.
| |
| | |
| Certainly there are many websites by members here and elsewhere full of good information. I already feel that I have enough of my own spin on things that I could have one as well. But I'd much rather have a place where everyone could contribute, a place that would not depend on one person having enough time to maintain it.
| |
| | |
| A wiki could in time accomodate several things that would be good for the community. The ones I think of include:
| |
| | |
| •"microtonal solutions" as I like to say; not only examples of hardware-software setups as Jon Szanto has repeatedly suggested but also acoustic solutions, experiencial instrument-making info, a list with the location of every known rare microtonal instrument, and perhaps a way for composers to write for such instruments (providing the curators of them want this)
| |
| | |
| •lists of downloadable microtonal sounds and CD's, and perhaps discussion and criticism.
| |
| | |
| •a catalogue of scales that people like, or have composed in, or have created. and discussion, sound examples of them.
| |
| | |
| •one thing a wiki is great for, an FAQ. Everyone posts questions, answers.
| |
| | |
| But ultimately the content of a wiki depends on what everyone wants there. I guess there's
| |
| no need for a grand master plan before starting something so insanely open-ended.

| | |
| So there you have it. A year later, there's one at [[http://riters.com/microtonal/|riters]], but no one uses it, it gets spammed, and it's ugly besides. So let's try this one, shall we? Try the links to your left to begin.</pre></div>
