== Octave stretch or compression == | |||
14edo benefits from [[octave stretch]] as harmonics 3, 7, and 11 are all tuned flat. [[22edt]], [[ed6|36ed6]] and [[42zpi]] are among the possible choices. | |||
What follows is a comparison of stretched-octave 14edo tunings. | |||
; 14edo | |||
* Step size: 85.714{{c}}, octave size: 1200.0{{c}} | |||
Pure-octaves 14edo approximates all no-5s harmonics up to 16 within 37.0{{c}}. | |||

; [[WE|14et, 13-limit WE tuning]] | |||
* Step size: 85.759{{c}}, octave size: 1200.6{{c}} | |||
Stretching the octave of 14edo by around half a cent results in improved primes 3, 7 and 11, but a worse prime 13. This approximates all no-5s harmonics up to 16 within 34.9{{c}}. Its 13-limit WE tuning and 13-limit [[TE]] tuning both do this. | |||

* Step size: 85.842{{c}}, octave size: 1201.8{{c}} | |||
Stretching the octave of 14edo by around 2{{c}} results in yet more improved primes 3, 7 and 11, but worse primes 2 and especially 13. This approximates all no-5s harmonics up to 16 within 30.9{{c}}. Its 11-limit WE tuning and 11-limit [[TE]] tuning both do this. | |||

; [[36ed6]] | |||
* Step size: 86.165{{c}}, octave size: 1206.3{{c}} | |||
Stretching the octave of 14edo by around NNN{{c}} results in improved primes 3, 7 and 11, but a worse prime 2 and completely unusable prime 13. This approximates all no-13s harmonics up to 16 within 35.3{{c}}. The tuning 36ed6 does this. | |||

; [[zpi|42zpi]] | |||
* Step size: 86.329{{c}}, octave size: 1208.6{{c}} | |||
Stretching the octave of 14edo by around 8.5{{c}} results in dramatically improved primes 3, 5, 7 and 11, but a much worse prime 2 and unusable 13. This approximates all no-13s harmonics up to 16 within 34.4{{c}}. The tuning 42zpi does this. | |||

; [[22edt]] | |||
* Step size: 86.453{{c}}, octave size: 1210.3{{c}} | |||
Stretching the octave of 14edo by around 10{{c}} results in dramatically improved primes 3, 5, 7 and 11, but a much worse prime 2 and unusable 13. It could be argued this is the only one of the 14edo tunings discussed here that has a truly use able 5th harmonic, allowing for full 7-limit harmony. The price for that, however, are quite wobbly octaves with 10 cents of error. This approximates all no-13s harmonics up to 16 within 41.3{{c}}. The tuning 22edt does this. | |||
