A '''tuning map''' represents the tuning of a [[regular temperament]]. It can take a vector representation of an interval ([[monzo]]) as input and outputs its pitch, usually measured in cents or octaves. | A '''tuning map''' represents the tuning of a [[regular temperament]]. It is similar to a standard [[val]] or [[Tmonzos and tvals|tempered val]], but it specifies the tuning of an interval in terms of cents rather than scale steps. Some people consider it a type of val.

A tuning map has one entry for each [[basis element]] of the temperament, giving its size in [[cent]]s or [[octave]]s (or any other logarithmic pitch unit). | A tuning map has one entry for each [[basis element]] of the temperament, giving its size in [[cent]]s or [[octave]]s (or any other logarithmic pitch unit). | ||
