Original Wikitext content:

==This is a wiki about microtonal (xenharmonic) musics, alternate tunings, and the means of achieving them.==

There has not been a successful tuning wiki...yet. But this shall try to be. Here's what Jacob wrote about the idea a year ago on [[http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/MakeMicroMusic/|MMM]]:

//I think that having one is a good idea, for many reasons. Dredging through archives of Yahoo groups is an inefficient way of finding any sort of specific information. Doubtless we can make things easier for first-timers, everyone really, if we can free our collective//
//knowledge (and opinions) from the mandatory chronologically-based system here.//

//Certainly there are many websites by members here and elsewhere full of good information. I already feel that I have enough of my own spin on things that I could have one as well. But I'd much rather have a place where everyone could contribute, a place//
//that would not depend on one person having enough time to maintain it. A wiki could in time accomodate several things that would be good for the community. The ones I think of include://
* "microtonal solutions" as I like to say; not only examples of hardware-software setups as Jon Szanto has repeatedly suggested but also acoustic solutions, experiencial instrument-making info, a list with the location of every known rare microtonal instrument, andperhaps a way for composers to write for such instruments (providing the curators of them want this)
* lists of downloadable microtonal sounds and CD's, and perhaps discussion and criticism.
* a catalogue of scales that people like, or have composed in, or have created. and discussion, sound examples of them.
* one thing a wiki is great for, an FAQ. Everyone posts questions, answers.

//But ultimately the content of a wiki depends on what everyone wants there. I guess there's//
//no need for a grand master plan before starting something so insanely open-ended.//

There's one at [[http://riters.com/microtonal/|riters]], but I think it's ugly. So let's try this one, shall we?
