I am more a theorist than a musician. My motivation of studying xen is acturally due to my interest in math.

When acturally work with xen music, I only use softwares, since I cannot play any instruments well — even 12edo ones. When working with different timbres, I feel that consonance and dissonance differs. Complex JI intervals (e.g. [[81/64]]) are more consonant than tempered ~~sinple~~ intervals (e.g. a meantone fifth) for synthetic waves (specifically, the ~~parabolic~~ wave~~, which is misnamed as “semisine”~~ in ~~ScaleWorkshop~~), but vise versa for real instrument samples.

== Personal terminology definitions ==

* Microtonal: music using finer-than-[[12edo]] tunings (non-12edo [[meantone]] tuning included)

* Xenharmonic: music that cannot be interpreted as [[5-limit]] [[12edo|12et]] without severe damage (12edo music using [[17/1|17]] or [[19/1|19]] included, most 5-limit [[meantone]] music excluded)
