'''Low-complexity just intonation''' ('''LCJI''', '''low JI''' or '''simple JI''') is a term often used for a style of [[just intonation]] (JI) that is based on a restricted set of simple JI intervals (such as 3/2, 4/3, 5/4, 6/5, 7/4, 7/6, 9/8, 11/8, 13/8, 15/8); higher complexity ratios may be [[generate]]d by such a set, but are not used directly and are only reached by modulating away from the original key. There is no universal boundary for LCJI, but the [[15-odd-limit]] is a good candidate. | |||

This term is coined by [[Zhea Erose]], who uses it in opposition to higher-harmonic-series JI approaches such as [[primodality]], [[neji]]s, and [[8th Octave Overtone Tuning|higher harmonic tuning]]. ''Low JI'' is sometimes seen in the community. Meanwhile, [[Flora Canou]] proposes ''simple JI'' for a connotation-neutral variant. | |||
