'''Logarithmic phi''', or 1200*[[Phi|<math>\varphi</math>]] cents = 1941.6 cents (or, octave-reduced, 741.6 cents) is useful as a generator, for example in [[Erv Wilson]]'s "Golden Horagrams". As a frequency relation it is <math>2^{\varphi}</math>, or <math>2^{\varphi - 1} = 2^{1/\varphi}</math> when octave-reduced. Logarithmic phi is notable for being the most difficult interval to approximate by [[EDO]]s, and as such a "small equal division of logarithmic phi" [[nonoctave]] tuning would minimize pseudo-octaves. With or without pseudo-octaves, an "equal division of logarithmic phi" [[nonoctave]] tuning forms an [[Modal systematization of soid-family scales| Intense Phrygian-Subpental Aeolian]] mode.

Logarithmic phi is not to be confused with [[acoustic phi]], which is 833.1¢.
