The '''whitewood family''' of [[temperament]]s [[tempering out|tempers out]] the apotome, [[2187/2048]]. Consequently the [[3/2|fifth]]s are always 4/7 of an [[octave]], a distinctly flat 685.714 [[cent]]s. While quite flat, this is close enough to a just fifth to serve as one, and some people are fond of it. | The '''whitewood family''' of [[temperament]]s [[tempering out|tempers out]] the apotome, [[2187/2048]].

The 14-note mos of whitewood, like the 10-note mos of blackwood, shares a number of interesting properties which derive from the relatively small circle of fifths common to both. From any major or minor triad in the scale, one can always move away by ~3/2 or ~4/3 to reach another triad of the same type. This contrasts with the diatonic scale, in which one will eventually "hit a wall" if one moves by perfect fifth for long enough; the chain of fifths will eventually "stop" and make the next fifth a diminished fifth. This means that this scale is, in a sense, "pantonal", since resolutions that work in one key will work in all other keys in the scale, at least keys that share the same chord quality. | The 14-note mos of whitewood, like the 10-note mos of blackwood, shares a number of interesting properties which derive from the relatively small circle of fifths common to both.

Another interesting property is that it becomes possible to construct "super-linked" 5-limit chords. In | Another interesting property is that it becomes possible to construct "super-linked" 5-limit chords. In Whitewood[14], or Blackwood[10], if one stacks alternating major and minor thirds on top of one another, one will eventually come back to the root without ever hitting a wall, and hence the pattern can continue forever. Since all of the diatonic modes can be thought of as a stacked chain of 7 alternating thirds, placed in inversion, this means that Whitewood[14] and Blackwood[10] also make for excellent "panmodal" scales, in which you can construct "modal" sounding sonorities in one key that will work in all keys. | ||
Lastly, while blackwood fifths are sharp and thus necessitate the tuning as a whole to be sharp-leaning, whitewood fifths are flat and thus this tuning is generally flat-leaning. | Lastly, while blackwood fifths are sharp and thus necessitate the tuning as a whole to be sharp-leaning, whitewood fifths are flat and thus this tuning is generally flat-leaning. | ||
