Are you interested in microtonal music with wild and wacky harmonies but want some familiarity to guide you? Heard about this Porcupine thing but not sure how to get 12 notes of it? Wish you had something like Porcupine but more accurate or with more interesting scales? Introducing The Porcutone System. The scales you know and love, with a new-age quirky spin. The perfect mix of consonant and dissonant harmonies, familiar and newfangled. Try it on your keyboard straight away (if you can return your keyboard using scale files, grab [[Porcutone chromatic (sharps)|this one]]! Copy the text into notepad and save as a .scl file).

The porcutone system combines [[Porcupine]] – arguably the best way to add the 11th harmonic to major and minor harmonies in a seven-note scale – with with [[Meantone]] – the system underpinning most common practice music from the last several hundred years, so all the same scales (diatonic, harmonic minor, pentatonic, chromatic, etc.) are still available, just with a new Porcupine spin, and the 11th harmonic (and the 13th harmonic as well!)
