More specifically, all partials 3<sup>''n''</sup> ''m'' are replaced with (8/3)<sup>''n''</sup> ''m''. This is to make fifths work in some way like fourths. Listen [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yyasgbykj2ps01c/AAAWKadGOIYqylMnhZkCa7cza?dl=0 here]. For me it sounds surprisingly consonant, considering retuning 5 to 24/5 sounds just evil. Though I can’t say I see what harmonic reifications this timbre brings.

=== An inharmonic timbre tuned to 17edo ===

Partials are, in [[17edo|\17]] steps,

<pre># 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

0, 17, 27, 34, 40, 44, 48, 51,

# 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

54, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 68,

#17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25

69, 71, 72, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79,</pre>

where 5, 10, 15, 20, but not 25, are 1\17 higher than “the best” (as 5 is represented so-so).

This tweak is an idea from XA Discord. When I originally tried the same idea but with 5, 10, 15, 20 tuned a step lower, the timbre sounded pretty disastrous by itself, disregarding any harmonic possibilities, but I didn’t think to try to salvage that.
