Equal-step tunings

About this list

The table that follows is not a “best-of” roster but a modest snapshot of equal-step tunings that happen to score highly under a few specific mathematical lenses. In particular, it gathers:

  • Prominent peak counts from the classic Riemann zeta function
  • Prominent peaks after removing the prime 2 from the zeta product
  • Prominent peaks after removing the prime 3
  • Prominent peaks after simultaneously removing the primes 2 and 3
  • The α–β–γ family, with an equave sliding from 3/1 down to 4/3

These tunings earn the label “optimized” only relative to the limited set of zeta-derived functions explored here. When you layer many differently pruned zeta functions in a tool such as Wolfram Mathematica, striking peaks emerge almost everywhere; the peaks simply shift as each combination of omitted primes reshapes the landscape. That ubiquity means there is no absolute “good” or “bad” equal-step tuning, only different alignments of primes that reveal different musical affordances.

Consequently, the list below is inherently biased toward a handful of functions and can only hint at the boundless diversity of xenharmonic equal-step systems. Treat it as a useful starting palette, not a definitive canon.

Todo: use sigma 1.0

instead of sigma 1/2
