Audio workstation software (DAWs)

Composing software

  • alt-tuner - a tuning plug-in that does adaptive tunings, on-the-fly retuning, and scale analysis by Kite Giedraitis
  • Csound (→ Csound and Wikipedia: Csound).
  • Melodyne – commercial audio software with editing and analysis functions for scales and tunings.
  • Microtonal-tuner - Wilckerson Ganda's tuner for all EDOs and EDONOIs (be sure to use https: not http:)
  • Mutabor – open-source dynamic microtuner, allowing mutable and static scales and tunings using flexible language developed for musicians with GUI (tutorial).
  • scalemap – drop-in microtonal note-to-frequency mapping for C, C++, and Javascript
  • Schismata Musical composition tool in any user defined tuning. Supports polyrhythms, tuning changes in real-time, sliding notes, instrument design.
  • SoundModeler Free sound modeling application. Exports audio files and Halion multisamples. The note pitch is transposed in accordance with chosen temperament (equal, Pythagorean, just or meantone 1/4 comma) in the settings.
  • Terpstra Keyboard WebApp – cross-platform web app that allows mapping of any tuning (in Scala format) on any form of generalized hexagonal layout. Settings are stored in the address bar for easy sharing.
  • TiMidity++ (→ Wikipedia: TiMidity++)
  • Tune Smithy
  • Tuning Vine – an interface for just intonation, with a color-coded lattice.
  • Xenpaper.com - A text-based microtonal sequencer, like a notepad. Write down musical ideas and share the link around

Software instruments

Mathematics software

Notation software

  • abcm2ps Free, open-source, ASCII-based editor with support for some microtonal accidentals.
  • Lilypond Free, open-source, outstanding notation software that produces beautiful engraving-quality output on a par with commercial applications like Sibelius. Thanks to the work of Graham Breed, can use Sagittal glyphs. With the Ekmelily extension, it can support several other notation styles, namely Tartini, Richter Herf/Madel and Sims.
  • MaxScore is an Java object for Max/MSP. It is based on Nick Didkovsky's JMSL which natively supports quarter-tone notation, but is capable of playing back microtonal music with unlimited precision. In the most recent version of MaxScore, microMaps have been implemented in the score canvas that allow the display of microtonal inflections in any kind of notation system provided that a font exists to represent those inflections. So far, microMaps for 48TET and 72TET exist. It is planned to develop an standalone editor which doesn't require any Max programming expertise. For more information send an email to [email protected]
  • Mus2 is a microtonal score editor with intonationally-correct playback. It allows the retuning of staves and import of symbols from graphics files and fonts to be used as accidentals.
  • MuseScore open-source notation software. Can be microtuned with the retuner plugin for almost any edo. The Xentuner plugin by Keenan Pepper is also very good. See MuseScore for the dedicated page.
