Because the 11 is naughty, damping or omitting the 11th harmonic partial from the sound of synthesized tones or physical instruments may result in a more pleasant timbre. Similarly, the 19th harmonic could be amplified louder than it would otherwise be. | Because the 11 is naughty, damping or omitting the 11th harmonic partial from the sound of synthesized tones or physical instruments may result in a more pleasant timbre.

It might be a good idea to use a modified [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning|Z function]] when analyzing higher edos, removing the component corresponding to the 11th harmonic (thus making it a no-elevens Z function) while increasing the weighting of the component corresponding to 19. Using such a function even more firmly establishes 12edo's position as supreme among small edos, since 12edo matches the 19th harmonic very closely while avoiding the 11th. | |||
Among higher edos, the one that has the most to gain is [[53edo]], which closely matches the 13 and 19, while matching the 17 less well and completely avoiding the 11. | Among higher edos, the one that has the most to gain is [[53edo]], which closely matches the 13 and 19, while matching the 17 less well and completely avoiding the 11. | ||
