Lumatone mapping for 46edo: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

Unfortunately this makes basic 5-limit minor and major chords quite complex using the [[leapday]] scale, requiring awkward stretches to play. The [[rodan]] mapping is probably more intuitive and has a wider range, but has the disadvantage of skipping a chroma on some of the transitions between columns, making it impossible to play the full gamut of each octave, and each octave is substantially higher up on the keyboard.

Unfortunately this makes basic 5-limit minor and major chords quite complex using the [[leapday]] scale, requiring awkward stretches to play, since 46edo is not meantone. The [[rodan]] mapping is probably more intuitive and has a wider range, but has the disadvantage of skipping a chroma on some of the transitions between columns, making it impossible to play the full gamut of each octave, and each octave is substantially higher up on the keyboard.

Line 11:

The [[amity]] mapping is a good compromise between them, ~~providing~~ an even heptatonic scale ~~while~~ making the full gamut playable, ~~with~~ the chroma going in the correct direction.

The [[amity]] mapping is a good compromise between them, since it provides an even heptatonic scale, making the full gamut playable, puts 5-limit minor and major chords within easy reach, and has the chroma going in the correct direction.
