View source for Compdye

The '''compdye''' scale pattern is a 24-note [[Step variety|ternary]] pattern that can be made by taking a 12-note [[Pythagorean]] scale and cloning it with an offset of [[81/80]]~[[64/63]]. It can be notated as '''5L7m12s''', and it is notable in [[aberrismic theory]] due to its relatively accurate tempering of the first 12 to 16 harmonics. In [[11-limit]] [[Pele|pele temperament]], the pattern contains the harmonic segment 1::12, and in [[13-limit]] [[Pentacircle clan#Pentafrost|pentafrost temperament]], it contains 1::16. [[41edo]] is a good choice to tune compdye to, since it supports both pele and pentafrost, but it can also be found in other [[EDO|edos]] such as [[46edo|46]] and [[58edo|58]].
