Int. Key (Intonation Key)
This sets the tonic, or base note from which the currently selected intonation map calculates
its intervals. If you select G as the intonation key, for example, and the intonation map you
select tunes the minor 2nd down by 50 cents, then G# will be a quartertone flat relative to
equal intonation. If you change the intonation key to D, then D# will be a quartertone flat.
If you use nonstandard intonations, you'll want to set Int.Key to the key you're playing in.
If the Intonation parameter is set to Equal, changing Int.Key has no effect.
12-8
No intonation map is used, intonation is equal.
No detuning of any intervals. The standard for modern western music.
Tunings are defined based on the ratios of the frequencies between
intervals. The original tuning of Classical European music.
Similar to Just, but with the Dominant 7th flatted an additional 15 cents.
The perfect 4th, Tritone, and Dominant 7th are heavily flatted.
Approximation of a historical intonation.
Named for its inventor, Andreas Werkmeister, it was developed to enable
transposition with less dissonance than classic equal temperament.
Approximation of a historical intonation based on the comma system.
Approximation of a historical intonation based on the comma system.
Based on the tunings for traditional Indian music.
Oriented toward the tunings of Mid-Eastern music.
Based on the pentatonic scale of Balinese and Javanese music.
A variation on BaliJava1, slightly more subtle overall.
A more extreme variation.
Based on the Chinese pentatonic scale.
Developed by Wendy Carlos, an innovator in microtonal tunings, this
intonation map flats each interval increasingly, resulting in an octave with
quarter-tone intervals.
This is a Pythagorean tuning, based on the Greek pentatonic scale. The
tritone is 12 cents sharp.
This is a Pythagorean tuning, based on the Greek pentatonic scale. The

Eastern Mediteranean. The Major 3rd and Major 7th are flat by 50 cents.
