===Tuning development environment ===

A tuning development environment, or tuning explorer, is a suite of tools for exploring the properties of tunings, for creating entirely new tunings, and for semi-guided development of tunings based on principles discovered by theorists. The tools provided by a tuning development environment may include tables showing the tuning's pitches in decimal cents, ratios and named intervals forms; interval analysis; circular or other graphical mappings; tuning system transformations; comparisons between two tunings; many more. [E.g. ~~Like ones provided~~ in Scala, Entonal Studio, MTS-ESP Suite.]

Scala is one of the most popular, long-standing, and powerful tuning development environments and worth exploring. However, its learning curve is steep and its text-based roots make it less enjoyable to use for some people. More recently developed tuning explorers are centered on graphical tools that clearly show relationships between scale notes. They are usually built into tuning plugins, so your favorite tuning development environment may just be the one that fits your preferred retuning workflow. Unusually, Surge XT is a synth that includes its own basic tuning explorer.

Some currently popular tuning explorers that also provide retuning are listed below. You'll find a more complete and up-to-date list in the Tuner plugins section of the [[List of microtonal software plugins#Tuner plugins|List of microtonal software plugins]] page, but not all tuner plugins include a well developed tuning explorer.
