94edo: Difference between revisions

Its step size is close to that of [[144/143]], which is consistently represented in this tuning system.

94edo can also be thought of as the "sum" of [[41edo]] and [[53edo]] {{nowrap|(41 + 53 {{=}} 94)}}, both of which are not only known for their approximation of [[Pythagorean tuning]], but also support a variety of [[Schismatic family|schismatic temperament]] known as [[Schismatic family#Cassandra|cassandra]] (which is itself a variety of [[Schismatic family#Garibaldi|garibaldi]]), tempering out [[32805/32768]], [[225/224]], and [[385/384]]. Therefore, 94edo's fifth is the [[mediant]] of these two edos' fifths; it is slightly sharp of just and less accurate than 53edo's fifth, but more accurate than 41edo's, and acts as a generator for a highly optimized and high-prime-limit form of cassandra. Few, if any, edos that support schismatic by [[Val|patent val]] have at least as high of a consistency limit as 94edo while also having a fifth that can stack to reach any interval in it.

The list of 23-limit commas it tempers out is huge, and in lower prime limits, it also tempers out [[3125/3087]], [[4000/3969]], [[5120/5103]] and [[540/539]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for gassormic, the rank-5 temperament tempering out [[275/273]] (despite one edostep being very close in size to this comma), and for a number of other temperaments, such as [[isis]].

== Intervals ==

While having the whole gamut of 94 intervals available on a keyboard or other instrument would be quite a feat, one can get a lot out of a 41-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree wide) or a 53-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree narrow), where the subset behaves much like a well-temperament, arguably usable in all keys but with some interval size variation between closer and more distant keys.
