General theory: Difference between revisions
m Moved most of the list items from "additional stuff" to "advanced theory", so that beginners don't feel like they have to know it, and get intimidated by the sheer amount |
m add line break |

= Basics = | If you are new to tuning theory looking for an overview, see [[Xen concepts for beginners]] and various others in our collection of [[guides]]. | ||
If you are looking for tools to start playing microtonal music, see [[List of music software]], but we would like to highlight these, which will aid your study of tuning theory: | |||
* [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. | |||
* [[Xenpaper]] – text-based microtonal sequencer, like a notepad. Write down musical ideas and share the link around. | |||
* [https://www.yacavone.net/xen-calc/ xen-calc] – interval calculator that translates to/from ratios, cents, FJS and color notation, much more too. | |||
