An '''AS''', or '''ambitonal sequence''', is a kind of [[Arithmetic tunings|arithmetic]] and [[Harmonotonic tunings|harmonotonic]] tuning.


An AS is a specific (rational) type of APS.
== Specification ==


(n-)ASp: (n pitches of an) ambitonal sequence adding by p (equivalent to 1D JI lattice of p)
Its full specification is (''n''-)AS-''p'': (''n'' pitches of an) [[ambitonal]] sequence adding by rational interval ''p''.


These are sequences which are rational but ambiguous between otonality and utonality, such as a chain of the same JI pitch.
'''Note''':
* The ''n'' is optional. If not provided, the sequence is open-ended.
* The ''p'' can be dimensionless, in which case it refers to an interval by its [[frequency ratio]]. It can also take a unit proportional to [[octave]]s, in which case it refers to an interval by its pitch relation.
 
== Relationship to other tunings ==
 
=== Vs. 1D JI Lattice & equal multiplications ===
 
AS-''p'' is equivalent to a 1-dimensional [[Harmonic lattice diagram|JI lattice]] of ''p''. These are sequences which are rational but ambiguous between otonality and utonality, such as a chain of the same JI pitch. It is also equivalent to an [[equal multiplication]] of a rational interval ''p''.
 
=== Vs. APS ===
 
The only difference between an (''n''-)AS-''p'' and an [[APS|(''n''-)APS-''p'' (arithmetic pitch sequence)]] is that the ''p'' for an AS must be rational.
