Lumatone mapping for 88edo: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

Keeping the same generator but setting the period to the quarter octave gives you a near equal [[4L 8s]] scale that keeps octaves closer to horizontal and makes chords easy to play

=== Rotated Diatonic ===

Since [[88edo]] is too large for the normal Standard Lumatone Mapping for Pythagorean to get all the notes, while the [[7L 2s]] mapping may cause excessive stretching of the fingers for some people, another possibility is to rotate the Lumatone to make the [[5L 2s]] scale (14:9 step ratio) run down-right and down, as demonstrated in {{W|Nobuo Uematsu}}'s [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/d3v6ji8EqQ8 ''The Extreme''] from ''{{W|Final Fantasy VIII}}'' (1999) – microtonal cover in 88edo by [[Bryan Deister]] (2026). This layout yields just under 2⅛ complete octaves with no missing notes and very few repeated note, although the upper left and lower right corners both have a large number of notes in partial octaves below and above these, due to the lopsidedness of the mapping; if the Lumatone is not rotated, the octaves slope down, but if the Lumatone is rotated 90° left as shown in the video, then the octaves proceed upward with a rightward slant.
