'''Factor 9 grid''' is a type of musical scale which was first proposed for esoteric reasons as a supposed replacement to [[12edo]]. The scale also became notable in music theory when esoteric properties of the scale were subsequently refuted by the famous YouTuber, bassist, and composer Adam Neely. | '''Factor 9 grid''' is a type of musical scale which was first proposed for esoteric reasons as a supposed replacement to [[12edo]].

In an extremely ironic twist, this allegedly divine and enlightening scale is well-approximated by an evil satanic temperament of 666 equal divisions of the 15/14 interval. However, Eliora when trying to represent the Factor 9 grid via a rank-2 temperament did not realize that x31eq.com resource takes the first interval in the number series as the equivalence interval, and assumed that it is represented by [[666edo]] instead. "q666" in the temperament finder, when 14:15:16:... typed out, stands for 666ed15/14 as opposed to 666ed2. | In an extremely ironic twist, this allegedly divine and enlightening scale is well-approximated by an evil satanic temperament of 666 equal divisions of the 15/14 interval.

This being said, this temperament preserves more properties of the "Factor 9 Grid" than the corrected version, since it's period-9 and its period minus reduced generator interval also maps to the smallest interval in the Factor 9 Grid system, [[28/27]]. So in the end, 666edo does ironically represent the Factor 9 grid well. The corrected version would be with 495ed15/14 & 666ed15/14, which corresponds to a 4973 & 6691 temperament in the 23-limit, that has no structure resembling the initial factor-9 grid other than being made of two good edos in the 23-limit. | This being said, this temperament preserves more properties of the "Factor 9 Grid" than the corrected version, since it's period-9 and its period minus reduced generator interval also maps to the smallest interval in the Factor 9 Grid system, [[28/27]].
