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++)
