19edt: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

19edt is not a truly [[xenharmonic]] tuning; it is a slightly stretched version (with an octave of 1201.2 cents) of the normal [[12edo|12-tone scale]]. Although it is really just the normal 12edo framed in a pure-3 tuning, it can still be used as a temperament with no twos like other tritave-equivalent tunings, although limited in [[accuracy]], with [[5/3]] approximated as 9 steps and [[7/3]] approximated by 15 steps. It completely misses the next tritave-reduced prime harmonic, [[11/9]].

This approach can create very non-standard chords and scales such as the approximation of the 5:7:9 chord as 0–600–1000 cents. These could be considered xenharmonic in a sense, since they have little connection to standard 12-tone practice in spite of using the 12-tone interval set. The "default" approach to it is as a "macro-[[godzilla]]" temperament (with a generator of 400.4 cents and a 3:1 ratio {{sl|5L 4s}} scale, and it is an interesting coincidence how [[17edt]] and 19edt tonality have the same "default" scheme with two tones more or less). Beyond this, it also contains the tritave twin of [[meantone]] temperament (with a generator of 700.7 or 1201.2 cents), producing a basic [[8L 3s (3/1~~-equivalent)~~|~~8L 3s]]~~ scale.
