|
| |
|
| == Types of subgroups == | | == Intervals == |
| * lim = [[Prime limit]]
| | <br> |
| * no-n = [[Subgroup|No-n subgroup]]
| |
| * dual = [[Dual-n|Dual-n subgroup]]
| |
| * EQ = [[Equalizer subgroup]]
| |
| * comp = [[Subgroup|Other composite subgroup]]
| |

|
| === EDOs with 1 to 6 tones/octave ===
| | Behaves like: [[1/1|1:1]]. |
| # The subgroup should have 3 [[basis element]]s
| |
| # If the EDO approximates 3 or more [[prime]]s 11 or lower within 15 [[cents]], then choose the best 3 and use those as its subgroup
| |
| # If it approximates less than 3 such primes, then include all the ones it does approximate, and fill the remaining spots with odd harmonics smaller than 40 that it approximates within 15 cents (giving preference to the lowest harmonics first)
| |
| # If there are aren't enough of those to fill all 3 spots, fill the remaining spots with [[taxicab distance|taxicab-2]] intervals the edo approximates within 15 cents, giving preference to intervals with small primes and intervals that are approximated more precisely (use direction to decide which to value more on an edo-by-edo basis)
| |
| # If there are still spots left open, fill them with the smallest composite harmonics of any size that are approximated within 15 cents
| |
|
| |
|
| === EDOs with 7 to 12 tones/octave ===
| |
| # The subgroup should have 5 basis elements
| |
| # If the EDO approximates any primes 11 or lower within 15 cents, then add all of those to its subgroup
| |
| # If there are still spots left over, and the EDO does not approximate prime 3, then check if it approximates any harmonics 6, 9, 12 or 15 within 15 cents. If so, add them all to the subgroup starting with the smallest until all spots are filled or all harmonics have been added.
| |
| # If there are still spots left over, if the EDO does not approximate one ir both of 5 or 3, check if it approximates 5/3 within 15 cents and if so, add that as a basis element
| |
| # If there are still spots left over, if the EDO does not approximate one or both of 7 or 3, check if it approximates 7/3 within 15 cents and if so, add that as a basis element
| |
| # If there are still spots left over, if the EDO does not approximate one or both of 7 or 5, check if it approximates 7/5 within 15 cents and if so, add that as a basis element
| |
| # Do the same as above for 11/3, then 11/5, then 11/7
| |
| # If there are still spots left over, check if the EDO approximates any primes 13, 17, 19 or 23 within 15 cents, if so, then add all of those to its subgroup giving preference to the lowest ones and to the ones approximated most closely (use discretion to choose which of those things to weight more heavily) until all spots have been filled or all primes have been added
| |
| # If there are still spots left open, choose either (A) or (B) at your discretion on an edo-by-edo basis, or combine both for edos where that makes sense:
| |
| # (A) fill the remaining spots with odd harmonics smaller than 40 that it the edo approximates within 15 cents (giving preference to harmonics that are multiples of simple harmonics like 21 or 33)
| |
| # (B) fill the remaining spots with taxicab-2 intervals the edo approximates within 15 cents, giving preference to intervals with small primes and intervals that are approximated more precisely (use direction to decide which to value more on an edo-by-edo basis)
| |
| # If there are still spots left open, fill them with the smallest remaining integer harmonics of any size that are approximated within 15 cents

| === Chords ===
| | Just harmonies: |
| These chords work particularly well if you drop the root note down an octave, better mimicking the shape of the [[harmonic series]].
| | * 17:20:24 |
| | * ''10:12:17'' |
| | * ''12:17:20'' |
|
| |
|
| (e.g you can play "chord 0-15-19-20-21-22-23" instead of "chord 0-3-7-8-9-10-11")
| | Note numbers: 0, 3, 6 |
|
| |
|
| You can also of course take any subset of 2 or more notes from any of these chords to make another, also harmonious chord.

| | === Parent chords === |
| | My list of in my opinion the most harmonious 'parent chords' in 12edo, which you can use as palettes to build novel and pretty smaller chords. Choose one of these chords, take any subset of 2 or more notes from it, and you will make another, also harmonious chord. |
| | |
| | These chords work particularly well if you drop the root note down an octave, better mimicking the shape of the [[harmonic series]]. (''For example you can play "chord 0-12-15-19-20-21-22-23" instead of "chord 0-3-7-8-9-10-11"''). |
| | |
| | Note names and common practice titles assume C is the [[tonic]] but of course you can transpose to any other key. |
