Many African traditions (not sure which ones) developed equipentatonic systems. We take the fact that the French liked 10edo (what they call ‘metric tuning’) so much so that they even promoted it inside their colonies. This initially had more success than expected, due to a common arrangement by some Temitope Ayokunle who proposed the idea of two parallel balafons covering the entire 10edo gamut. This somehow eventually spread to America during the African slave trade and developed a new type of music (still called jazz), but Earth#10 jazz is more adventurous in the fact that they would regard each note of 10edo as equally important and thus they would regard the chromatic gamut as the scale itself. Equally interesting was the use of the [0 3 6 8] chord in 10edo as the main ‘primary’ chord in Earth#10 jazz music.

Earth#10 jazz music has more African influence in its instrumentation as well, with modern balafons and electric (and acoustic) koras being extremely common in jazz and other popular musical styles. As such, European instruments are sparingly used in jazz, and hence the saxophone is more commonly used in the orchestra.

Earth#10 jazz music has more African influence in its instrumentation as well, with modern balafons and electric (and acoustic) koras and kamele ngoni being extremely common in jazz and other popular musical styles. As such, European instruments are sparingly used in jazz, and hence the saxophone is more commonly used in the orchestra.

Due to the influence of Nystrom, hexadecimal (called nystromal in this universe, to distinguish it from "tonal" referring to music) is used as an official number base across the larger cities in Northern Europe, the Northwestern European Union, and some formerly colonial cities in Asia.
