Homothetic just intonation is a kind of extended [[just intonation]] conceived by Sui-hin Mak. The term 'homothetic' refers to the [[wikipedia:Homothetic_center#Computing_homothetic_centers|homothetic formula]] for circles. The tuning aims at producing the pitches between notes of an existing prime limit JI pitch collection. | Homothetic just intonation is a kind of extended [[just intonation]] conceived by Sui-hin Mak.

Circles are drawn | Circles are drawn on an axis with the existing pitches as their centres, and with their sizes determined by its prime factors. The homothetic formula '''x₀ = (r₂x₁ + r₁x₂) / (r₁ + r₂)''' is used to locate the intersection of common tangents of two given circles. The new pitch between two successive existing pitches is determined by the homothetic centre of the two circles. | ||
