Xenpaper is a text-based microtonal sequencer. It supports notes and chords in relative pitch, including just intonation, equal-step tunings, arbitrary tuning in cents and indexed notation within an equal-step tuning or a custom scale, as well as in absolute pitch (in Hz). Other features include customizing the BPM and oscillator, looping, displaying a pitch ruler, and sharing tunes by URL or iframe.

The first version of Xenpaper, developed by Damien Clarke (aka mosfez), was released on March 8th, 2021 (or possibly earlier[to be confirmed]). Version 1 only supports one voice at a time, including chords.

A beta version of Xenpaper 2, developed by Lumi Pakkanen (aka frostburn), was released on May 29th, 2026. Version 2 adds support for multiple voices, which can be edited in separate tabs within the app.
