You can also take call the neutral sixth the generator, which I personally favour as it is an (approximate) harmonic rather than a subharmonic. But that's because it's how I use it, you might not. If you see it this way, the 3rd harmonic is harmonically opposite to the 13th harmonic, because, (13/8)^2 ~ 4/3, the perfect fourth being an upside down perfect fifth. You might also find that the 10-note scale can be formed by two 17-tone pythagoresque pentatonic scales a neutral interval apart, implying something of a different approach. And one of the loveliest things I find about them is the ease with which one can play 8:11:13 chords, so there are some frightening blues licks in this decatonic scale. R'lyeh blues anyone? (Note that you will come up with similarly structured scales by using //other neutral thirds// as generators, although some of them will sound quite different. A neutral sixth about sharp of the 13th harmonic leads to 7L+3s like in 17-tone, whereas going flat of the 13th harmonic can lead to 7s+3L. (This boast is possible because 10-edo sits right on it.) Some equal divisions of the octave containing neutral scales: [[10edo]], [[13edo]], [[16edo]], [[19edo]], [[24edo]], [[31edo]]....) </pre></div> | |||
