In general, you should select a nonstandard intonation map when you're playing simple
melodies (as opposed to chords) in a particular musical style. When you use intonation maps
based on pentatonic scales, you'll normally play pentatonic scales to most accurately reproduce
those styles.
Intonation Key (Int.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
intonation. If you change the intonation key to D, then D
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.
No intonation map is used, intonation is equal but cannot be edited.
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 classic 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's fairly close to equal
temperament, and was developed to enable transposition with less dissonance.
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 1Bali/Java, 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.
