* [[Interval calculator]] – a nice online interval calculator tool, shows linear fraction and EDO fraction expansions, too
* [https://scaleworkshop.plainsound.org/ Scale Workshop] – scale-creation site by [[Lumi Pakkanen]]. Allows playing via QWERTY computer keyboard. Can also export .scl and .kbm files.
* [http://www.untwelve.org/javascript_demos/MOSring.html An animated Javascript Moment of Symmetry (MOS) ring demo, another untwelve.org creation]
* [[Xenpaper]] – text-based microtonal sequencer, like a notepad. Write down musical ideas and share the link around.  
* [http://www.toverlamp.org/static/wickisynth/wickisynth.html An excellent Firefox browser tuning demo synthesizer, 'Wicksynth']
* [https://www.yacavone.net/xen-calc/ xen-calc] – interval calculator that translates to/from ratios, cents, FJS and color notation, much more too.
