7edo: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

7edo can be thought of as the result of stacking seven [[11/9]]'s on top of each other, and then tempering to remove the comma {{monzo| -2 -14 0 0 7 }}. As a temperament, [[William Lynch]] gives it the name "Neutron[7]" just as the whole tone scale of [[12edo]] is known as "Hexe[6]".

~~Typically,~~ 7edo ~~exists as the tuning for pentatonic scales in traditional Thai music with the other two pitches acting as auxiliary tones. However, it~~ can be used as an interesting diatonic scale choice as well in tunings such as [[14edo]] or [[21edo]].

7edo can be used as an interesting diatonic scale choice as well in tunings such as [[14edo]] or [[21edo]].

The seventh of 7edo is almost exactly the 29th harmonic ([[29/16]]), which can have a very agreeable sound with harmonic timbres. However it also finds itself nested between ratios such as 20/11 and 9/5, which gives it considerably higher [[harmonic entropy]] than [[7/4]], a much simpler overtone seventh.
