Tune Smithy

Tune Smithy

Tune Smithy is a Windows-based shareware application, originally was developed as an algorithmic composition tool to make fractal music. It is now also used frequently as a retuning tool for microtonal composition,Fact|date=February 2008 and for music therapy in conjunction with Barbara Hero’s Lambdoma keyboard. As a microtuner, it is one of the programs that supports MIDI Tuning Standard sysexes.

The application also contains a polyrhythm metronome, a chord progression player, and an audio pitch tracer which can be used for exact tracing of the pitch of microtonal music and birdsong. Other features include a mouse theremin and a PC keyboard player which can be used to explore alternative keyboard layouts such as the Janko keyboard, which happens to use the same hexagonal type arrangement of keys as a PC keyboard. Version 3.0 introduces an automated Csound orchestra builder and various other new features.
