|
| It divides the octave into twelve equal parts, each of exactly 100 cents each unless octave shrinking or stretching is employed. Its has a fifth which is quite good at two cents flat. It has a major third which is 13 2/3 cents sharp, which works well enough for some styles of music and is not really adequate for others, and a minor third which is flat by even more, 15 2/3 cents. It is probably not an accident that as tuning in European music became increasingly close to 12et, the style of the music changed so that the defects of 12et appeared less evident, though it should be borne in mind that in actual performance these are often reduced by the tuning adaptations of the performers. | | == Theory == |
| | 12edo achieved its position as the standard Western tuning system through a combination of theoretical properties and practicality. It is the smallest number of equal divisions of the octave ([[edo]]) which can seriously claim to represent [[5-limit]] harmony, and it represents a [[meantone]] temperament, tempering out [[81/80]], equating four [[3/2|perfect fifths]] with the [[5/1|5th harmonic]]. |
|
| |
|
| Its seventh partial is sharp by over 31 cents, and stands out distinctly from the rest of the chord in a tetrad. Such tetrads are often being used as dominant seventh chords in functional harmony, for which the 5-limit JI version would be 1-5/4-3/2-16/9, and while 12et officially supports septimal meantone via the [[Vals and Tuning Space|val]] <12 19 28 34|, its credentials in the 7-limit department are distinctly cheesy. It cannot be said to represent 11 or 13 at all, though it does a quite credible 17 and an even better 19. Nevertheless its relative tuning accuracy is quite high, and 12edo is the fourth [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta EDO lists|zeta integral edo]].
| | It divides the octave into twelve equal parts, each of exactly 100 [[cent]]s. It has a [[3/2|fifth]] which is quite accurate at 700 cents, two cents flat of [[just intonation]]. It has a [[5/4|major third]] which is 13.7 cents sharp of just, which, while reasonable for its size, is unsatisfactory for some. The [[6/5|minor third]] is even less accurate, being 15.6 cents flat of just. |

| In terms of the kernel, which is to say the commas it tempers out, it tempers out the Pythagorean comma, 3^12/2^19, the Didymas comma, 81/80, the diesis, 128/125, the diaschisma, 2048/2025, the Archytas comma, 64/63, the septimal quartertone, 36/35, the jubilisma, 50/49, the septimal semicomma, 126/125, and the septimal kleisma, 225/224. Each of these affects the structure of 12et in specific ways, and tuning systems which share the comma in question will be similar to 12et in precisely those ways.
| | Before people used 12edo, people used a variety of [[historical temperaments]] such as [[quarter-comma meantone]], and later [[well temperament]]s. By the 20th century, 12edo became dominant primarily due to practical considerations for keyboard instruments and its ability to handle modulation across all keys with reasonable intonation. In actual performance, these deviations from just intonation are often reduced by the tuning adaptations of skilled performers. Modern music theory has increasingly treated 12edo as a system in its own right rather than as an approximation of just intonation or meantone, leading to theoretical approaches such as {{w|serialism}} and much of {{w|jazz harmony}} that derive from 12edo's structure as an equal division rather than its underlying temperament properties.{{cn}} |
|
| |
|
| ==Linear temperaments==
| | 12edo is the basic example of a [[:Category:12-tone scales|dodecatonic]] scale and can be considered the simplest well temperament, where all twelve fifths are the same. |

| | The 7th harmonic ([[7/4]]) is represented by the diatonic [[minor seventh]], which is sharp by 31 cents, and as such 12edo tempers out [[64/63]]. The deviation explains why minor sevenths tend to stand out distinctly from the rest of the chord in a [[tetrad]]. Such tetrads are often used as [[dominant seventh chord]]s in [[diatonic functional harmony|functional harmony]], for which the 5-limit JI version would be [[36:45:54:64|1–5/4–3/2–16/9]], and while 12et officially [[support]]s septimal meantone for tempering out [[126/125]] and [[225/224]] via its [[patent val]] of {{val| 12 19 28 34}}, its approximations of [[7-limit]] intervals are not very accurate. It cannot be said to represent [[11/1|11]] or [[13/1|13]] at all, though it does a quite credible [[17/1|17]] and an even better [[19/1|19]]. Nevertheless, its relative tuning accuracy is quite high, and 12edo is the fourth [[zeta integral edo]]. |

| | Stacking the fifth twelve times returns the pitch to the starting point, so that the Pythagorean comma, [[Pythagorean comma|3<sup>12</sup>/2<sup>19</sup>]], is tempered out. Three major thirds equal an octave, so the lesser diesis, [[128/125]], is tempered out. Four minor thirds also equal an octave, so the greater diesis, [[648/625]], is tempered out. These features have been widely utilized in contemporary music. The [[duodene]] is an unequal 12-note scale in 5-limit just intonation which observes these commas, and can be considered a [[detempering|detemper]] of 12edo. Other [[comma]]s 12et [[tempering out|tempers out]] include the diaschisma, [[2048/2025]], and the schisma, [[32805/32768]], and in the 7-limit, the septimal quartertone, [[36/35]], and the jubilisma, [[50/49]].

| | 12edo also offers very good approximations to intervals in the 2.3.17.19 subgroup. This indicates one way to use 12edo that deviates from common-practice harmony; for instance the cluster chord 8:17:36:76 is well represented, as well as the [[16:19:24]] otonal minor triad. |

[[36edo]], which triples it, improves on harmonics 7 and 13, but has the 13 tuned flat instead of sharp. [[72edo]] is a notable zeta-record edo, and [[60edo|60-]], [[84edo|84-]], and [[96edo]] all see utilities. Notable [[rank-2 temperament]]s that augment 12edo with extra [[generator]]s include [[compton]] and [[catler]]. |

| | == Notation == |
| | The intervals and notes of 12edo have standard names from classical music theory. This classical notation system, which was in use before 12edo with other tuning systems based on chains of fifths, is sometimes called the [[chain-of-fifths notation]] or extended Pythagorean notation. |
| | |
| | {{Sharpness-sharp1|12}} |
| | |
| | The subsets {{EDOs|1edo, 2edo, 3edo, 4edo and 6edo}} can all be written using 12edo [[subset notation]]. |
| | |
| | Any 12edo note or interval can be [[Enharmonic unison|respelled enharmonically]] by adding a [[pythagorean comma]] to it or subtracting one from it. |

| | In 12edo: |
| | * [[Ups and downs notation]] is identical to standard notation; |
| | * Mixed [[sagittal notation]] is identical to standard notation, but pure sagittal notation exchanges sharps (♯) and flats (♭) for sagittal sharp ([[File:Sagittal sharp.png]]) and sagittal flat ([[File:Sagittal flat.png]]) respectively. |
| | |
| | === Sagittal notation === |
| | This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as EDOs [[5edo#Sagittal notation|5]], [[19edo#Sagittal notation|19]], and [[26edo#Sagittal notation|26]], is a subset of the notations for EDOs [[24edo#Sagittal notation|24]], [[36edo#Sagittal notation|36]], [[48edo#Sagittal notation|48]], [[60edo#Sagittal notation|60]], [[72edo#Sagittal notation|72]], and [[84edo#Sagittal notation|84]], and is a superset of the notation for [[6edo#Sagittal notation|6-EDO]]. |
| | |
| | ==== Evo flavor ==== |
| | {{Sagittal chart|Evo}} |
| | |
| | Because it includes no Sagittal symbols, this Evo Sagittal notation is also a conventional notation. |

| | Rank-2 temperaments to which 12et can be [[detempering|detempered]] include [[compton]] (12 & 72), [[schismic]]/[[garibaldi]] (41 & 53), and [[diaschismic]] (46 & 58). Rank-3 temperaments to which 12et can be detempered include [[marvel]], [[starling]]/[[thrush]], [[aberschismic]], [[orthoschismic]], and [[cassaschismic]]. For more comprehensive lists, see: |

| | |
| | == Octave stretch or compression == |
| | Whether there is intonational improvement from [[stretched and compressed tuning|octave stretch and compression]] for 12edo varies by context. A slight compression such as what is given by [[40ed10]] and [[zpi|34zpi]] shows improved intonation of harmonics [[5/1|5]] and [[7/1|7]] at the cost of worse [[2/1|2]] and [[3/1|3]]; while stretching the octave for a purer 3 and for a better match of the inharmonicity on string instruments, like those in [[7edf]], [[19edt]], or [[31ed6]], also makes sense. |
| | |
| | == Scales == |
| | {{Main| List of MOS scales in 12edo }} |
| | |
| | The two most common 12edo mos scales are meantone[5] and meantone[7]. |
| | * Diatonic (meantone) 5L2s 2221221 (generator = 7\12) |
| | * Pentatonic (meantone) 2L3s 22323 (generator = 7\12) |
| | * Diminished 4L4s 12121212 (generator = 1\12, period = 3\12) |
| | |
| | === Non-mos scales === |
| | Due to 12edo's dominance, some non-mos scales are also widely used in many musical practices around the world. |
| | |
| | * Harmonic major – 2212132 |
| | * Melodic major – 2212122 |
| | * Hungarian minor – 2131131 |
| | * Maqam hijaz / double harmonic major – 1312131 |
| | * 5-odd-limit tonality diamond – 3112113 |
