'''Tune Smithy''' is a [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-based [[shareware]] application, originally was developed as an [[algorithmic composition]] tool to make [[fractal music]]. It is now also used frequently as a [[musical tuning|retuning]] tool for [[microtonal music|microtonal composition]],<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=KChoKKhjOb0C&pg=PA157&dq=tune+smithy#v=onepage&q=tune%20smithy References to Tune Smithy in Tuning, timbre, spectrum, scale By William A. Sethares]</ref> 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 (music)|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.
