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. Similarly, the 19th harmonic could be amplified louder than it would otherwise be.


Similarly, 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.
