My main reason to use edos is to "buy" the entire gamut and be able to do JIoid stuff in it with the most accuracy, the least amount of pitch classes, and the most conceptualization ease within a chain-of-fifths framework. | My main reason to use edos is to "buy" the entire gamut and be able to do JIoid stuff in it with the most accuracy, the least amount of pitch classes, and the most conceptualization ease within a chain-of-fifths framework. I've already have my suite of edos that are perfect, supported [[User:Eufalesio/Ultimate|Ultimate]]. | ||
I thus value edos that have a manageable grain, approximate a lot of stuff, and allow easy chain-of-fifths frameworks; It's easier for me to think in tempered commas along the chain of fifths. I care about the ya (ya), yaza (yaza), yatha (2.3.5.13), yazatha (2.3.5.7.13), and yazalatha (13-limit) JI subgroups, liking my error to be balanced across primes, but the error on 3 to be minimal so that I can work within a chain-of-fifths framework. From primes 17 onwards (and specially 19) I only care about the octave-reduced harmonics, possibly up a fourth or a fifth, and ''nothing'' else. Generally though, I only do yazalatha. | I thus value edos that have a manageable grain, approximate a lot of stuff, and allow easy chain-of-fifths frameworks; It's easier for me to think in tempered commas along the chain of fifths.

Pythagorean tuning incarnate, and astounding ya. yathana is especially potent, but the -zatwetha is still very much usable, even the yazalatha! It feels less tempered than 41edo, so it feels like a less compromised system, | Pythagorean tuning incarnate, and astounding ya. yathana is especially potent, but the -zatwetha is still very much usable, even the yazalatha! It feels less tempered than 41edo, so it feels like a less compromised system, but I feel bad for the rest of the edos near this one, because there is nothing like it. But what can I say? Suck it losers! It's also part of my Ultimate sequence! Rank: SS | ||

I haven't composed in it, but theory screams to me that this edo is a beast. I like to think of it as 65edo, but good. It has a very accurate yazalatha, and a schismic chain-of-fifths framework? Cool. Only problem... It's rastmic. Rastmic is a tad innacurate of a framework for an edo in the hundreds, but oh well.

Aura's favorite tuning. He does have a point, it takes an extremely good edo, and tripling it makes it even better! 29-limit goodness! I don't care as much for the insanely accurate ila, as I care for the entire yazalatha, on which it is worse than other alternatives, as primes 7 and 13 are relatively innacurate. I've composed stuff with it, and it isn't as easy to do as in other edos, but the result is still decent. Rank | Aura's favorite tuning.
