Orwell: Difference between revisions

Line 23:

In orwell, [[8/5]] is divided into three equal steps, each of which represent [[7/6]], so that [[1728/1715]] ({{S|6/S7}}) is tempered out. This means that the [[5/1|5th harmonic (5/1)]] is divided into three equal steps that represent [[~]][[12/7]]. After two 8/5's (six generators), [[9/7]] is found by [[tempering out]] the marvel comma, [[225/224]], and thus the [[3/1|just perfect twelfth (3/1)]] is divided into 7 equal steps.

In the 11-limit, two generators are equated to [[15/11]] and [[11/8]] (meaning [[99/98]] and [[121/120]] are tempered out). This means that three stacked generators makes the [[orwell tetrad]] 1–7/6–11/8–8/5, a chord in which every interval is a (tempered) 11-odd-limit consonance. Other such chords in undecimal orwell are the [[keenanismic chords]] and the [[swetismic chords]]. A far more complicated mapping of 11 at 33 generators, tempering out [[441/440]] instead, is also possible and is known as [[newspeak]] temperament.

In the 11-limit, two generators are equated to [[15/11]] and [[11/8]] (meaning [[99/98]] and [[121/120]] are tempered out). This means that three stacked generators makes the [[orwell tetrad]] 1–7/6–11/8–8/5, a chord in which every interval is a (tempered) 11-odd-limit consonance. Other such chords in undecimal orwell are the [[keenanismic chords]] and the [[swetismic chords]]. A far more complicated mapping of 11 at 33 generators, tempering out [[441/440]] instead, is also possible and is known as [[newspeak]] temperament; these two mappings unite on 31edo.

Compatible [[equal temperaments]] include [[22edo]], [[31edo]], [[53edo]], and [[84edo]] (though in 84edo, 11-limit orwell uses the 84e [[val]]). Orwell is in better tune in lower limits than higher ones; the [[optimal patent val]] is [[296edo]] in the 5-limit, [[137edo]] in the 7-limit, and [[53edo]] in the 11-limit.
