** When it comes to equal tunings, most of the consonant ones have been ''found'' already, but most of them haven’t been ''explored''. Imagine all the consonant scales that might exist as subsets of medium to large [[EDO]]s, [[EDT]]s and [[EDF]]s, subsets that no one has found yet. Because how do you even start sifting through hundreds and thousands of possible subsets to find the good ones? Well that’s your job, theorist :) Again, I feel equal tunings are as wide open in 2024 as RTT was in 1990. One of you reading this might very well name a scale that’s as important to some equal tuning as the major scale is to [[12edo]]. | ** When it comes to equal tunings, most of the consonant ones have been ''found'' already, but most of them haven’t been ''explored''.

* All the above really only applies to theorists. ''[[:Category:Musicians|Musicians]]'' and ''[[composer]]s'' definitely don’t have anything to worry about in terms of chances to break new ground. Most of those awesome temperaments that were found in the 2000s, have barely ever been used. For every single tuning documented on this wiki - RTT ones, JI ones, ET ones - they are ''all'' totally unexplored in terms of actually making actual music with them. So if you’re a musician or composer, the world’s your oyster. Literally pick any tuning on this wiki and make music with it, and you will be breaking major new ground. | * All the above really only applies to theorists.

* Similarly, there is still a huge wide open field of possibilities for [[software]] and [[instruments]]. Every single tuning on this wiki - be it RTT, JI or ET - is in major need of software and instruments. So developers and manufacturers have a huge opportunity to make a splash in the world of every corner of musical tuning. | * Similarly, there is still a huge wide open field of possibilities for [[software]] and [[instruments]].
