1-3-4 Micro Tuning List

Equal Temperament The "compromise" tuning used for most of the last 200 years of Western music, and found on most electronic keyboards.

Each half step is exactly 1/12 of an octave, and music can be played in any key with equal ease. However, none of the intervals are perfectly in tune.

Pure Major This tuning is designed so that most of the intervals (especially the major third and perfect fifth) in the major scale are pure.

This means that other intervals will be correspondingly out of tune.

You need to specify the key (C - B) you will be playing in as the Micro

Tuning Root parameter.

Pure Minor

Werckmeist

The same as Pure Major, but designed for minor scales.
