| Dividing the interval of 3/1 into 27 equal parts gives a scale with a basic step of 70.44 cents, which is nearly identical to one step of [[17edo]] (70.59 cents). Hence it has similar melodic and harmonic properties as 17edo, with the difference that 27 is not a prime number.
| | == Theory == |
| | 27edt corresponds to 17.035…edo, which is nearly identical to one step of [[17edo]] (70.59 cents). Hence it has similar melodic and harmonic properties as 17edo, with the difference that 27 is not a [[prime number]]. In fact, the [[prime edo]]s that approximate the 3-limit well often correspond to composite edts: e.g. [[19edo]] → [[30edt]], [[29edo]] → [[46edt]] and [[31edo]] → [[49edt]]. |
|
| |
|
| 27 being the third power of 3, and the base interval being 3/1, 27edt is a tuning where the number 3 prevails. This property seems to predestine 27edt as base tuning for Klingon music (since the tradtional Klingon number system is also based on 3). See, e.g., [[http://launch.dir.groups.yahoo.com/group/tuning/message/86909]] and [[http://www.klingon.org/smboard/index.php?topic=1810.0]].
| | Compared to 17edo, 27edt approximates the [[prime interval|primes]] [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]], and [[13/1|13]] better; it approximates prime [[5/1|5]] equally poorly, but maps it to 40 steps rather than 39 in the [[patent val]], corresponding to the 17c [[val]], often considered the better mapping as it equates [[5/4]] and [[6/5]] to major and minor thirds rather than to a neutral third, and 5 has the same sharp tendency as 7 and 11. |
|
| |
|
| ==Intervals==
| | From a purely tritave-based perspective, it [[support]]s the [[minalzidar]] temperament, but otherwise it can be used as a retuning of 17edo with closer-to-just harmonic properties in the no-fives 2.3.7.11.13 subgroup. |

27 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 27edt or 27ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 27 equal parts of about 70.4 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/27, or the 27th root of 3.
Theory
27edt corresponds to 17.035…edo, which is nearly identical to one step of 17edo (70.59 cents). Hence it has similar melodic and harmonic properties as 17edo, with the difference that 27 is not a prime number. In fact, the prime edos that approximate the 3-limit well often correspond to composite edts: e.g. 19edo → 30edt, 29edo → 46edt and 31edo → 49edt.
Compared to 17edo, 27edt approximates the primes 7, 11, and 13 better; it approximates prime 5 equally poorly, but maps it to 40 steps rather than 39 in the patent val, corresponding to the 17c val, often considered the better mapping as it equates 5/4 and 6/5 to major and minor thirds rather than to a neutral third, and 5 has the same sharp tendency as 7 and 11.
From a purely tritave-based perspective, it supports the minalzidar temperament, but otherwise it can be used as a retuning of 17edo with closer-to-just harmonic properties in the no-fives 2.3.7.11.13 subgroup.
