* [[Xen concepts for beginners]]: Explains the fundamental building blocks of microtonal theory from the ground up. Short and readable. Introduces interval ratios, just intonation, regular temperament, MOS scales and EDOs/ETs. Does not assume prior knowledge. | |||
* [[Nick Vuci's Fundamentals of Xen]], edited by Leo Coogan: Another explanation of the fundamental building blocks that emphasises different facets. Combining the two together will help you understand both better. | |||
* [[Making Microtonal Music is Easier Than You’d Think]]: Comprehensive 9000-word tutorial with many images.
