View source for User:Inthar/21edo

I ([[User:Inthar|Inthar]]) view [[21edo]] in two ways:
# Viewed more traditionally, it's a "color system" with traditional triadic harmony, 7edo circles of fifths, and many interesting colors for intervals. One possible scalar realization of this is the [[MV3]] scale [[diasem]] with step ratio L:M:S = 3:2:1.
# As a [[MOS]] system, its most interesting MOS scales are [[soft]] [[oneirotonic]] and perhaps [[miracle]] and [[orwelloid]]. (The other mos scales are variants of 12edo multimosses.)

== Traditional harmony ==
* Third flavors: 286 (min3, soft minor), 343 (neu3, supraminor-ish neutral), 400 (maj3, neogothic-ish major)
* Seconds: 114 (min2), 171 (submaj2), 229 (supmaj2), 171 and 228 work better as major seconds than 15edo's 160 and 240.
* Sixths: 800 (min6), 857 (neu6), 914 (maj6)
* Sevenths: 971 (submin7), 1029 (supmin7), 1086 (maj7), 1143 (supmaj7)
* Tritones: 571 (subtri), 628 (suptri)
* Fourths: 514 (perfect~acute 4th), 457 (sub4th, sounds more like a sub4th than a naiadic)
* More dissonant extensions (might want to use nejification for these?): 57 (submin2), 743 (sup5)
* 1143 can be used internally but not 1257.
=== Diasem harmony ===
[[Diasem]] is an MV3 scale with step pattern either (left-handed) MLSLMLLSL or (right-handed) MLSLMLSLL which are non-superimposable mirror images. As its name suggests, 21edo diasem has qualities intermediate that of [[19edo]]'s [[diatonic]] mos and [[23edo]]'s [[semiquartal]] mos. 21edo diasem also has a non-chiral alteration 231323223, which, however, is only MV3 because of the specific step ratio 3:2:1 it has in 21edo.

The basic Locrian 7th chord has a brighter version 0-343-629-1029 and a darker version 0-286-571-971. The bright version occurs in both diasem Locrians. A more xen one can be made by lowering either 343 or 1029 by one step, which exists in some variant of diasem Locrian. Unfortunately, the darker Locrian seventh chord doesn't appear in any unaltered diasem mode in 21edo. To remedy this one could split (add a comma step to) the tritone and the minor 2nd, yielding 11313113313.
==== Modes ====
Diasem has 18 modes, 9 modes of LH diasem and 9 modes of RH diasem. Fourteen of these modes are versions of diatonic modes which come in LH and RH pairs; four are more [[oneirotonic]]-like, sharing melodic segments with the oneirotonic scale in [[21edo]], and they lack either a perfect 4th or a perfect 5th.

Diasem has 18 modes, 9 modes of LH diasem and 9 modes of RH diasem. Modes with LLS are left-handed; modes with LLM are right-handed. Fourteen of these modes are versions of diatonic modes which come in LH and RH pairs; four are less diatonic-like.

Here, "brightened" (resp. "darkened") means that the diatonic scale is overall sharpened (resp. flattened) perfect 5th (resp. the perfect 4th) is missing. These may sound somewhat more like [[oneirotonic]] modes.

Dissonances
* minT / majT (571/628 tritone)
* min2/maj7, submin2/supmaj7
The important identites in "5-limit" harmony are 7\*hepta interval = unison, submaj2 + supmaj2 = maj3, and 3\*maj3 = unison. it's also important that 2\*min2 = supmaj2.
3*sub4 = hepta2

Miracle is a good mapping.
