Slendric: Difference between revisions

Line 250:

One may note that the two-generator interval is tempered somewhat flat of 21/16 in most tunings of slendric. This allows it to be interpretable as [[17/13]], tempering out [[273/272]] and [[833/832]], into which 1029/1024 factors. Combining that with the mapping of 55/32 at four generators, we obtain the representations 21/16, 17/13, [[55/42]], and [[72/55]] for this interval. If we look one octave higher, a pattern becomes clear: [[21/8]], [[34/13]], [[55/21]], and [[144/55]] are all ratios of two-apart Fibonacci numbers, which therefore closely approximate the square of [[acoustic phi]], entailing that acoustic phi squared over 2 is close to two slendric generators.

A single slendric generator, therefore, is approximable by acoustic phi divided by [[sqrt(2)]], whose precise value is about 233.0903 ~~cents~~. Using this interval as a generator produces a form of slendric too sharp to be mothra but flat of 36edo, with a fifth about 2.7 cents flat, quite close to the 27\139 tuning in [[139edo]].
