""In music, 15 equal temperament, called 15-TET, 15-EDO, or 15-ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the octave into 15 equal steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2 1/15, or 80 cents. Because 15 factors into 3 times 5, it can be seen as being made up of three scales of 5 equal divisions of the octave. 15-ET matches the 11:8 and 16:11 ratios, and does not match the 7:5 or 10:7 tritone."

Original Wikitext content:

=15 tone equal temperament= 


15-edo is a [[7-limit]] tuning because of the amount of septimal intervals, but it does contain [[11-limit]] intervals.

from //wikipedia//:
""In music, 15 equal temperament, called 15-TET, 15-EDO, or 15-ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 15 equal steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2 1/15, or 80 [[cent]]s. Because 15 factors into 3 times 5, it can be seen as being made up of three scales of [[5edo|5 equal divisions of the octave]] (or five scales of [[3edo]]). 15-ET matches the [[11_8|11:8]] and [[16_11|16:11]] ratios, and does not match the [[7_5|7:5]] or [[10_7|10:7]] tritone."

Additional notes:

In the 15-edo system, major thirds cannot be divided perfectly into two, and coupled with the lack of a standard tritone, this tuning at first can be disorienting. However, because the guitar can be tuned symmetrically, from E to e (6th to 1st strings) unlike the 12-tone system on guitars, the learning curve is very manageable. All chords look the same modualted anywhere, and minor arpeggios are vertically stacked, making them very easy to play. 15-tone may be a promising start for anyone interested in superior harmony and xenharmony, a manageable number of tones, and the sonic fingerprint of multiples of 5-edo. .

<br />
15-edo is a <a class="wiki_link" href="/7-limit">7-limit</a> tuning because of the amount of septimal intervals, but it does contain <a class="wiki_link" href="/11-limit">11-limit</a> intervals.<br />
<br />
from <em>wikipedia</em>:<br />
&quot;&quot;In music, 15 equal temperament, called 15-TET, 15-EDO, or 15-ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the <a class="wiki_link" href="/octave">octave</a> into 15 equal steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2 1/15, or 80 <a class="wiki_link" href="/cent">cent</a>s. Because 15 factors into 3 times 5, it can be seen as being made up of three scales of <a class="wiki_link" href="/5edo">5 equal divisions of the octave</a> (or five scales of <a class="wiki_link" href="/3edo">3edo</a>). 15-ET matches the <a class="wiki_link" href="/11_8">11:8</a> and <a class="wiki_link" href="/16_11">16:11</a> ratios, and does not match the <a class="wiki_link" href="/7_5">7:5</a> or <a class="wiki_link" href="/10_7">10:7</a> tritone.&quot;<br />
<br />
Additional notes:<br />
<br />
In the 15-edo system, major thirds cannot be divided perfectly into two, and coupled with the lack of a standard tritone, this tuning at first can be disorienting. However, because the guitar can be tuned symmetrically, from E to e (6th to 1st strings) unlike the 12-tone system on guitars, the learning curve is very manageable. All chords look the same modualted anywhere, and minor arpeggios are vertically stacked, making them very easy to play. 15-tone may be a promising start for anyone interested in superior harmony and xenharmony, a manageable number of tones, and the sonic fingerprint of multiples of 5-edo. .<br />
