: '''Bozu:''' This is where almost everyone outside of the [[xenharmonic]] community sends their minds when you mention "microtonal music." It's used in traditional [[maqam]] music. I've personally used it myself a bit, but, in my opinion, what gets added to 12edo is fairly limited. It opens up a couple of new worlds of a few consonant intervals that play really well with familiar ones, and also some really skunky dissonant ones that drive the neighbours crazy. But it's definitely not what I recommend for beginning a journey into alternative tuning.

: '''Nicolai:''' 12EDO, but fancy.

: '''Keenan:''' Very worthwhile, and underrated because of its long history of [[microtonal|"microtonal" (rather than "xenharmonic")]] use. Really nails the 2.3.11 [[subgroup]], and has all the familiar [[meantone]] harmony (and [[diatonic scale]]) of 12edo. The basis of much low-level maqam music theory (maqamat are often presented as [[quarter ~~tones~~]]).

: '''Mike:''' allows you to take a sound you all intuitively know (the blues) and make it "real" and "tangible" and manipulate it to see what comes of it.

: '''Yourmusic Productions:''' Double the complexity, but considerably less than double the number of good-sounding combinations. A lot of extra work for little extra return.
