-Here are some links to some of the key ideas underlying tuning:
+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:
-* [[Ratios|Ratios]]
+* [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.
