| **18 Equal Divisions of the Octave**
| |
| **AKA The Third-Tone System**
| |
|
| |
|
| =Basic Properties=
| | 18edo is also known as the '''third-tone''' system. |
| 18-EDO divides the octave into 18 equal parts of ~66.667 cents each. It does not approximate the 3rd harmonic at all, unless a >30¢-error is considered acceptable, and it approximates the 5th and 7th harmonics equally with 12-TET. It does, however, render a most accurate tuning of 9/8, 7/6, 21/16, 15/11, 12/7, 16/9, and 13/7. It is also the smallest EDO to approximate the harmonic series chord 5:6:7 without tempering out 36/35 (and thus without using the same interval to approximate both 6/5 and 7/6).
| |
|
| |
|
| In order to access the excellent consonances actually available, one must take a considerably "non-common-practice" approach, meaning to avoid the usual closed-voice "root-3rd-5th" type of chord and instead use chords which are either more compressed or more stretched out. 18-EDO may be treated as a temperament of the 17-limit [[k*N subgroups|4*18 subgroup]] [[Just intonation subgroups|just intonation subgroup]] 2.9.75.21.55.39.51. On this subgroup it tempers out exactly the same commas as 72 does on the full [[17-limit]], and gives precisely the same tunings. The subgroup can be put into a single chord, for example 32:36:39:42:51:55:64:75 (in terms of 18edo, 0-3-5-7-12-14-18-22), and transpositions and inversions of this chord or its subchords provide plenty of harmonic resources.
| | == Theory == |
| | 18edo does not include the 3rd or 7th harmonics, and contains the same controversial tuning of [[5/4]] as 12edo does. It does, however, render more accurate tunings of [[7/6]], [[21/16]], [[15/11]], [[12/7]], and [[13/7]]. It is also the smallest edo to approximate the harmonic series chord 5:6:7 without tempering out 36/35 (and thus without using the same interval to approximate both 6/5 and 7/6). |
|
| |
|
| However, less accurate approximations can be used, and 18edo can be treated as a 7-limit exotemperament with the mapping <18 29 42 51|. This maps 3/2 to 733.33¢ and 7/4 to 1000¢; as a result, 28/27 is tempered out, and weird things happen: 9/8 and 7/6 are both mapped to 266.67¢, while 8/7 gets mapped below both of them to 200¢, making for a rather disordered 7-limit tonality diamond, but hey, whatever floats your boat!

Hence it can be viewed as an "/3 temperament" (/3 used in the [[primodality]] sense), specifically in the 2.9.13/12.7/6.17/12.23/12.29/24 subgroup. As for more simple subgroups, 18edo can be treated as a 2.9.5.11 subgroup temperament. |
|
| |
|
| 18-EDO contains sub-EDOs [[2edo|2]], [[3edo|3]], [[6edo|6]], and [[9edo|9]], and itself is half of [[36edo|36-EDO]] and one-fourth of [[72edo|72-EDO]]. It bears some similarities to [[13edo|13-EDO]] (with its very flat 4ths and nice subminor 3rds), [[11edo|11-EDO]] (with its very sharp minor 3rds, two of which span a very flat 5th), 16-EDO (with its sharp 4ths and flat 5ths), and 17-EDO and 19-EDO (with its narrow semitone, three of which comprise a whole-tone). It is an excellent tuning for those seeking a forceful deviation from the common practice.
| | However, less accurate approximations can be used, and 18edo can be treated as a 7-limit (with 3s) exotemperament with the mapping {{val| 18 29 42 51 }}. This maps 3/2 to 733.33{{c}}, 5/4 to 400{{c}} and 7/4 to 1000{{c}}; as a result, 28/27 is tempered out, and unintuitive things happen: 9/8 and 7/6 are both mapped to 266.67{{c}}, while 8/7 gets mapped below both of them to 200{{c}}, making for a rather disordered [[9-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]], although this may be serviceable for the more exotemperamental music. This 7-limit mapping [[support]]s 7-limit [[sixix]], and thus is strongly associated with 18edo's [[4L 3s]] [[mos]]. |

| | 18edo is the basic example of a dual-fifth system (beyond perhaps 11 or 13edo), as the sharp and flat fifths multiply to a good approximation of 9/4. By alternating these fifths, a diatonic scale (5L 1m 1s) is generated which is similar to 19edo's diatonic, but cut short by one step. |
|

| | {{Harmonics in equal|18}} |
|
| |
|
| 18edo can be notated with ups and downs. The notational 5th is the 2nd-best approximation of 3/2, 10\18. This is only 4¢ worse that the best approximation, which becomes the up-fifth. Using this 5th allows conventional notation to be used, including the staff, note names, relative notation, etc. There are two ways to do this.
| | == Intervals == |
|
| |
|
| The first way preserves the __melodic__ meaning of sharp/flat, major/minor and aug/dim, in that sharp is higher pitched than flat, and major/aug is wider than minor/dim. The disadvantage to this approach is that conventional interval arithmetic no longer works. e.g. M2 + M2 isn't M3, and D + M2 isn't E. Chord names are different because C - E - G isn't P1 - M3 - P5.
| | [[File:18-ED2-JI-approximations-2.png|alt=18-ED2-JI-approximations-2.png|18-ED2-JI-approximations-2.png|thumb]] |
|
| |
|
| The second way preserves the __harmonic__ meaning of sharp/flat, major/minor and aug/dim, in that the former is always further fifthwards on the chain of fifths than the latter. Sharp is lower in pitch than flat, and major/aug is narrower than minor/dim. While this approach may seem bizarre at first, interval arithmetic and chord names work as usual. Furthermore, conventional 12edo music can be directly translated to 18edo "on the fly".

| 18-EDO is an ideal scale for the first-time refretter, because you can retain all the even-number frets from 12-tET--essentially 1/3 of your work is done for you!
| |
|
| |
|
| The "Father Octatonic" scale maps very simply to a 6-string guitar tuned in "reverse-standard" tuning (tune using four 466.667¢ intervals, with one 533.333¢ interval between the 2nd and 3rd strings), making for a softer learning-curve than EDOs like 14, 16, or 21 (all of which are most evenly open-tuned using a series of sharpened 4ths and a minor or neutral 3rd, and whose scales thus often require position-shifting and/or larger stretches of the hand).

| 18-EDO divides the octave into 18 equal parts of ~66.667 cents each. It does not approximate the 3rd harmonic at all, unless a &gt;30¢-error is considered acceptable, and it approximates the 5th and 7th harmonics equally with 12-TET. It does, however, render a most accurate tuning of 9/8, 7/6, 21/16, 15/11, 12/7, 16/9, and 13/7. It is also the smallest EDO to approximate the harmonic series chord 5:6:7 without tempering out 36/35 (and thus without using the same interval to approximate both 6/5 and 7/6).<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| In order to access the excellent consonances actually available, one must take a considerably &quot;non-common-practice&quot; approach, meaning to avoid the usual closed-voice &quot;root-3rd-5th&quot; type of chord and instead use chords which are either more compressed or more stretched out. 18-EDO may be treated as a temperament of the 17-limit <a class="wiki_link" href="/k%2AN%20subgroups">4*18 subgroup</a> <a class="wiki_link" href="/Just%20intonation%20subgroups">just intonation subgroup</a> 2.9.75.21.55.39.51. On this subgroup it tempers out exactly the same commas as 72 does on the full <a class="wiki_link" href="/17-limit">17-limit</a>, and gives precisely the same tunings. The subgroup can be put into a single chord, for example 32:36:39:42:51:55:64:75 (in terms of 18edo, 0-3-5-7-12-14-18-22), and transpositions and inversions of this chord or its subchords provide plenty of harmonic resources.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| However, less accurate approximations can be used, and 18edo can be treated as a 7-limit exotemperament with the mapping &lt;18 29 42 51|. This maps 3/2 to 733.33¢ and 7/4 to 1000¢; as a result, 28/27 is tempered out, and weird things happen: 9/8 and 7/6 are both mapped to 266.67¢, while 8/7 gets mapped below both of them to 200¢, making for a rather disordered 7-limit tonality diamond, but hey, whatever floats your boat!<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| 18-EDO contains sub-EDOs <a class="wiki_link" href="/2edo">2</a>, <a class="wiki_link" href="/3edo">3</a>, <a class="wiki_link" href="/6edo">6</a>, and <a class="wiki_link" href="/9edo">9</a>, and itself is half of <a class="wiki_link" href="/36edo">36-EDO</a> and one-fourth of <a class="wiki_link" href="/72edo">72-EDO</a>. It bears some similarities to <a class="wiki_link" href="/13edo">13-EDO</a> (with its very flat 4ths and nice subminor 3rds), <a class="wiki_link" href="/11edo">11-EDO</a> (with its very sharp minor 3rds, two of which span a very flat 5th), 16-EDO (with its sharp 4ths and flat 5ths), and 17-EDO and 19-EDO (with its narrow semitone, three of which comprise a whole-tone). It is an excellent tuning for those seeking a forceful deviation from the common practice.<br />

| 18edo can be notated with ups and downs. The notational 5th is the 2nd-best approximation of 3/2, 10\18. This is only 4¢ worse that the best approximation, which becomes the up-fifth. Using this 5th allows conventional notation to be used, including the staff, note names, relative notation, etc. There are two ways to do this.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| The first way preserves the <u>melodic</u> meaning of sharp/flat, major/minor and aug/dim, in that sharp is higher pitched than flat, and major/aug is wider than minor/dim. The disadvantage to this approach is that conventional interval arithmetic no longer works. e.g. M2 + M2 isn't M3, and D + M2 isn't E. Chord names are different because C - E - G isn't P1 - M3 - P5.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| The second way preserves the <u>harmonic</u> meaning of sharp/flat, major/minor and aug/dim, in that the former is always further fifthwards on the chain of fifths than the latter. Sharp is lower in pitch than flat, and major/aug is narrower than minor/dim. While this approach may seem bizarre at first, interval arithmetic and chord names work as usual. Furthermore, conventional 12edo music can be directly translated to 18edo &quot;on the fly&quot;.<br />

| |
| 18-EDO is an ideal scale for the first-time refretter, because you can retain all the even-number frets from 12-tET--essentially 1/3 of your work is done for you!<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| The &quot;Father Octatonic&quot; scale maps very simply to a 6-string guitar tuned in &quot;reverse-standard&quot; tuning (tune using four 466.667¢ intervals, with one 533.333¢ interval between the 2nd and 3rd strings), making for a softer learning-curve than EDOs like 14, 16, or 21 (all of which are most evenly open-tuned using a series of sharpened 4ths and a minor or neutral 3rd, and whose scales thus often require position-shifting and/or larger stretches of the hand).<br />

| | == Instruments == |
| | === Guitar === |
| | 18edo is an ideal scale for the first-time refretter, because you can retain all the even-number frets from 12-tET--essentially 1/3 of your work is done for you! |
| | |
| | The 8-note oneirotonic scale maps very simply to a 6-string guitar tuned in "reverse-standard" tuning (tune using four 466.667{{c}} intervals, with one 533.333{{c}} interval between the 2nd and 3rd strings), making for a softer learning-curve than EDOs like 14, 16, or 21 (all of which are most evenly open-tuned using a series of sharpened 4ths and a minor or neutral 3rd, and whose scales thus often require position-shifting and/or larger stretches of the hand). |
| | |
| | === Keyboards === |
| | [[Julián Carrillo]] built at least one third-tone piano in 18edo. |
| | |
| | [[Lumatone mapping for 18edo|Lumatone mappings for 18edo]] are available. |
