'''Logarithmic phi''', or [[phi|<math>\varphi</math>]] [[ | '''Logarithmic phi''', or [[phi|<math>\varphi</math>]] [[octave]]s = 1941.6 [[cent]]s (or, octave-reduced, 741.6 cents) is useful as a generator, for example in [[Erv Wilson]]'s "Golden Horagrams". As a frequency relation it is <math>2^{\varphi}</math>, or <math>2^{\varphi - 1} = 2^{1/\varphi}</math> when octave-reduced. Logarithmic phi is notable for being the most difficult interval to approximate by [[edo]]s, and as such a "small equal division of logarithmic phi" [[nonoctave]] tuning would minimize pseudo-octaves. | ||
