For instance, the closest zeta peak of 12edo, which has a value of 12.023edo, is the 34th peak of the Riemann zeta function: this tuning is 34zpi. | For instance, the closest zeta peak of 12edo, which has a value of 12.023edo, is the 34th peak of the Riemann zeta function: this tuning is 34zpi. | ||

Zeta is not an objective metric: There are plenty of other metrics besides zeta for how "well" JI is approximated by an equal tuning, which you can find in: [[:Category:Regular temperament tuning|optimised regular temperament tunings]]. | Zeta is not an objective metric: There are plenty of other metrics besides zeta for how "well" JI is approximated by an equal tuning, which you can find in: [[:Category:Regular temperament tuning|optimised regular temperament tunings]]. | ||
Zeta peaks are those equal-step tunings which the zeta function suggests should "well" approximate JI for this particular (not objective) definition of "well approximating". See the page [[ | Zeta peaks are those equal-step tunings which the zeta function suggests should "well" approximate JI for this particular (not objective) definition of "well approximating". See the page [[Riemann zeta function]] for a fuller explanation of how zeta peaks are arrived at. | ||
