Here are some links to some of the key ideas underlying tuning:
Here are some links to some of the key ideas underlying tuning.
 
If you are new to tuning theory looking for an overview, see the [[Guides]], especially [[Xen concepts for beginners]] and [[Nick Vuci's Fundamentals of Xen]].
 
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.
