Millioctave: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The '''millioctave''' ('''moct''') is a [[unit of interval size]] that divides the [[octave]] (2/1) into 1000 logarithmically equal parts. So, the millioctave can be defined as a frequency ratio of the 1000th root of 2, or 2<sup>0.001</sup>. Its independence from the "classical"/"standard" [[12edo]] tuning, and its similarity to other metric/[[wikipedia:International System of Units|SI units]], have led some ethnomusicologists and microtonalists to prefer it over similar measures such as [[cents]]. However, others note that it naturally favors [[10edo]] and its multiples, just as cents favor 12edo and its multiples.
