IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES
This is an imported revision from Wikispaces. The revision metadata is included below for reference:
- This revision was by author xenwolf and made on 2010-06-02 04:24:31 UTC.
- The original revision id was 146426547.
- The revision comment was: Please can you explain "generator" on an own page?
The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.
Original Wikitext content:
The 5-limit parent comma for the porcupine family is 250/243, the maximal [[diesis]] or porcupine comma. Its [[monzo]] is |1 -5 3>, and flipping that yields <<3 5 1|| for the [[wedgie]]. This tells us the [[generator]] is a minor whole tone, the 10/9 interval, and that three of these add up to a fourth, with two more giving the minor sixth. In fact, (10/9)^3 = 4/3 * 250/243, and (10/9)^5 = 8/5 * (250/243)^2. 3/22 is a very recommendable generator, and MOS of 7, 8 and 15 notes make for some nice scale possibilities. ==Seven limit children== The second comma of the [[Normal lists|normal comma list]] defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. That means 64/63, the Archytas comma, for porcupine, 36/35, the septimal quarter tone, for hystrix, 245/243, the sensamagic comma, for hedgehog, and 49/48, the slendro diesis for nautilus. ===Porcupine=== Porcupine, with wedgie <<3 5 -6 1 -18 -28||, uses six of its minor tone generator steps to get to 7/4. For this to work you need a small minor tone such as [[22edo]] provides, and once again 3/22 is a good tuning choice, though we might pick in preference 8/59, 11/81, or 19/140 for our generator. ===Hystrix=== Hystrix, with wedgie <<3 5 1 1 -7 -12||, provides a less complex avenue to the 7-limit. Unfortunately in temperaments as in life you get what you pay for, and hystrix, for which a generator of 2/15 or 9/68 can be used, is a temperament for the adventurous souls who have probably already tried [[15edo]]. They can try the even sharper fifth of hystrix in [[68edo]] and see how that suits.
