General theory
Here are some links to some of the key ideas underlying tuning:
Basics
Core Concepts
- Just intonation
- Regular temperaments
- Equal-step tuning
- Periods and generators
- EDO
- EDT
- MOS scale
- Periodic scale
- EDL (Equal divisions of length)
- AID (Arithmetic irrational divisions)
- ADO (Arithmetic rational divisions)
- Comma pump
Javascript tools
- Interval calculator – a nice online interval calculator tool, shows linear fraction and EDO fraction expansions, too
- An animated Javascript Moment of Symmetry (MOS) ring demo, another untwelve.org creation
- An excellent Firefox browser tuning demo synthesizer, 'Wicksynth'
