Are you interested in microtonal music with wild and wacky harmonies but want some familiarity to guide you? Heard about this Porcupine thing but not sure how to get 12 notes of it? Wish you had something like Porcupine but more accurate or with more interesting scales? Introducing Pinetone. The scales you know and love, with a new-age quirky spin. The perfect mix of consonant and dissonant harmonies, familiar and newfangled. Try it on your keyboard straight away (if you can retune your keyboard using Scala files, grab [[Porcutone chromatic (sharps)|this one]]! Copy the text into notepad and save as a .scl file). | Are you interested in microtonal music with wild and wacky harmonies but want some familiarity to guide you?
