5edf: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

5edf is close to the [[bleu]] [[generator]] chain and every second step of [[17edo]] (also known as [[17ed4]]) 5edf has an extremely accurate approximation of the seventh harmonic for its size.

5edf is notable as a relatively basic and easy-to-use nonoctave system. Traditional harmony using major and minor triads is accessible in 5edf, although they are not 5-limit but rather septimal/undecimal in flavor. One must be wary of the 3/2-equivalence paradigm-major and minor triads, seventh chords, ninth chords, etc. are all merely voicings of major and minor dyads. Diminished chords also play a more important role than they do traditionally, as they are not equivalent to dyads and are somewhat more consonant than in [[12edo]] due to the laxer subtritone.

One must be wary of the 3/2-equivalence paradigm-there is no dominant, and major and minor triads, seventh chords, ninth chords, etc. are all merely voicings of major and minor dyads. Diminished chords also play a more important role than they do traditionally, as they are not equivalent to dyads and are somewhat more consonant than in [[12edo]] due to the laxer subtritone.
