23et, or 23-EDO, is a tuning system which divides the [[octave]] into 23 equal parts of approximately 52.173913 cents. It has good approximations for 5/3, 11/7, 13 and 17, allowing it to represent the 2.5/3.11/7.13.17 [[just intonation subgroup]]. If to this subgroup is added the commas of 17-limit 46et, the larger 17-limit [[k*N subgroups|2*23 subgroup]] 2.9.15.21.33.13.17 is obtained. This is the largest subgroup on which 23 has the same tuning and commas as does 17-limit 46, and may be regarded as a basis for analyzing the harmony of 23-EDO so far as approximations to just intervals goes.

23-EDO was proposed by ethnomusicologist [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Hornbostel|Erich von Hornbostel]] as the result of continuing a circle of "blown" fifths of ~678-cent fifths that (he argued) resulted from "overblowing" a bamboo pipe.

23-EDO is also significant in that it is the largest EDO that fails to approximate the 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonics within 20 cents, which makes it well-suited for musicians seeking to explore unusual harmonic territory. Oddly, despite the fact that it fails to approximate these harmonics, it approximates the intervals between them (5/3, 7/3, and 7/5) very well. The lowest harmonics well-approximated by 23-EDO are 13, 17, 21, and 23.

The lowest harmonics well-approximated by 23-EDO are 13, 17, 21, and 23.


Like 9-EDO, 16-EDO, and 25-EDO, one way to treat 23-EDO is as a Pelogic temperament, tempering out the "comma" of 135/128 and equating three sharp 4/3's with 5/1 (related to the Armodue system). This means mapping 3/2 to 13 degrees of 23, and results in a 7-note "anti-diatonic" scale of 3 3 4 3 3 3 4 (in steps of 23-EDO), which extends to 9 notes (3 3 3 1 3 3 3 3 1).

However, one can also map 3/2 to 14 degrees of 23-EDO without significantly increasing the error, taking us to a 7-limit temperament where two 3/2's equals 7/3, meaning 28/27 is tempered out, and six 4/3's octave-reduced equals 5/4, meaning 4096/3645 is tempered out. Both of these are very large commas, so this is not at all an accurate temperament, but it is related to 13-EDO and 18-EDO and produces MOS scales of 5 and 8 notes: 5 5 4 5 4 (the "anti-pentatonic") and 4 1 4 1 4 4 1 4 (the "quarter-tone" version of the Blackwood/[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rapoport_(music_critic)|Rapoport]]/Wilson 13-EDO "subminor" scale). Alternatively we can treat this temperament as a 2.9.21 subgroup, and instead of calling 9 degrees of 23-EDO a "4/3", we can call it 21/16. Here three 21/16's gets us to 9/4, meaning 1029/1024 is tempered out. This allows us to treat a triad of 0-4-9 degrees of 23-EDO as an approximation to 16:18:21, and 0-5-9 as 1/(16:18:21); both of these triads are abundant in the 8-note MOS scale.

23et, or 23-EDO, is a tuning system which divides the &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/octave"&gt;octave&lt;/a&gt; into 23 equal parts of approximately 52.173913 cents. It has good approximations for 5/3, 11/7, 13 and 17, allowing it to represent the 2.5/3.11/7.13.17 &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/just%20intonation%20subgroup"&gt;just intonation subgroup&lt;/a&gt;. If to this subgroup is added the commas of 17-limit 46et, the larger 17-limit &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/k%2AN%20subgroups"&gt;2*23 subgroup&lt;/a&gt; 2.9.15.21.33.13.17 is obtained. This is the largest subgroup on which 23 has the same tuning and commas as does 17-limit 46, and may be regarded as a basis for analyzing the harmony of 23-EDO so far as approximations to just intervals goes. &lt;br /&gt;

Original Wikitext content:

=<span style="color: #007a1b; display: block;">23 tone equal temperament</span>= 

23et, or 23-EDO, is a tuning system which divides the [[octave]] into 23 equal parts of approximately 52.173913 cents. It has good approximations for 5/3, 11/7, 13 and 17, allowing it to represent the 2.5/3.11/7.13.17 [[just intonation subgroup]]. If to this subgroup is added the commas of 17-limit 46et, the larger 17-limit [[k*N subgroups|2*23 subgroup]] 2.9.15.21.33.13.17 is obtained. This is the largest subgroup on which 23 has the same tuning and commas as does 17-limit 46, and may be regarded as a basis for analyzing the harmony of 23-EDO so far as approximations to just intervals goes.

23-EDO was proposed by ethnomusicologist [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Hornbostel|Erich von Hornbostel]] as the result of continuing a circle of "blown" fifths of ~678-cent fifths that (he argued) resulted from "overblowing" a bamboo pipe.

23-EDO is also significant in that it is the largest EDO that fails to approximate the 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonics within 20 cents, which makes it well-suited for musicians seeking to explore unusual harmonic territory. Oddly, despite the fact that it fails to approximate these harmonics, it approximates the intervals between them (5/3, 7/3, and 7/5) very well. The lowest harmonics well-approximated by 23-EDO are 13, 17, 21, and 23.

Like 9-EDO, 16-EDO, and 25-EDO, one way to treat 23-EDO is as a Pelogic temperament, tempering out the "comma" of 135/128 and equating three sharp 4/3's with 5/1 (related to the Armodue system). This means mapping 3/2 to 13 degrees of 23, and results in a 7-note "anti-diatonic" scale of 3 3 4 3 3 3 4 (in steps of 23-EDO), which extends to 9 notes (3 3 3 1 3 3 3 3 1).

However, one can also map 3/2 to 14 degrees of 23-EDO without significantly increasing the error, taking us to a 7-limit temperament where two 3/2's equals 7/3, meaning 28/27 is tempered out, and six 4/3's octave-reduced equals 5/4, meaning 4096/3645 is tempered out. Both of these are very large commas, so this is not at all an accurate temperament, but it is related to 13-EDO and 18-EDO and produces MOS scales of 5 and 8 notes: 5 5 4 5 4 (the "anti-pentatonic") and 4 1 4 1 4 4 1 4 (the "quarter-tone" version of the Blackwood/[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rapoport_%28music_critic%29|Rapoport]]/Wilson 13-EDO "subminor" scale). Alternatively we can treat this temperament as a 2.9.21 subgroup, and instead of calling 9 degrees of 23-EDO a "4/3", we can call it 21/16. Here three 21/16's gets us to 9/4, meaning 1029/1024 is tempered out. This allows us to treat a triad of 0-4-9 degrees of 23-EDO as an approximation to 16:18:21, and 0-5-9 as 1/(16:18:21); both of these triads are abundant in the 8-note MOS scale.

==Commas== 
23 EDO tempers out the following commas. (Note: This assumes the val < 23 36 53 65 80 85 |.) Also note the discussion above, where there are some commas mentioned that are not in the standard comma list (e.g., 28/27).

 <br />
23et, or 23-EDO, is a tuning system which divides the <a class="wiki_link" href="/octave">octave</a> into 23 equal parts of approximately 52.173913 cents. It has good approximations for 5/3, 11/7, 13 and 17, allowing it to represent the 2.5/3.11/7.13.17 <a class="wiki_link" href="/just%20intonation%20subgroup">just intonation subgroup</a>. If to this subgroup is added the commas of 17-limit 46et, the larger 17-limit <a class="wiki_link" href="/k%2AN%20subgroups">2*23 subgroup</a> 2.9.15.21.33.13.17 is obtained. This is the largest subgroup on which 23 has the same tuning and commas as does 17-limit 46, and may be regarded as a basis for analyzing the harmony of 23-EDO so far as approximations to just intervals goes.<br />
<br />
23-EDO was proposed by ethnomusicologist <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_von_Hornbostel" rel="nofollow">Erich von Hornbostel</a> as the result of continuing a circle of &quot;blown&quot; fifths of ~678-cent fifths that (he argued) resulted from &quot;overblowing&quot; a bamboo pipe.<br />
<br />
23-EDO is also significant in that it is the largest EDO that fails to approximate the 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonics within 20 cents, which makes it well-suited for musicians seeking to explore unusual harmonic territory. Oddly, despite the fact that it fails to approximate these harmonics, it approximates the intervals between them (5/3, 7/3, and 7/5) very well. The lowest harmonics well-approximated by 23-EDO are 13, 17, 21, and 23.<br />
<br />
Like 9-EDO, 16-EDO, and 25-EDO, one way to treat 23-EDO is as a Pelogic temperament, tempering out the &quot;comma&quot; of 135/128 and equating three sharp 4/3's with 5/1 (related to the Armodue system). This means mapping 3/2 to 13 degrees of 23, and results in a 7-note &quot;anti-diatonic&quot; scale of 3 3 4 3 3 3 4 (in steps of 23-EDO), which extends to 9 notes (3 3 3 1 3 3 3 3 1).<br />
<br />
However, one can also map 3/2 to 14 degrees of 23-EDO without significantly increasing the error, taking us to a 7-limit temperament where two 3/2's equals 7/3, meaning 28/27 is tempered out, and six 4/3's octave-reduced equals 5/4, meaning 4096/3645 is tempered out. Both of these are very large commas, so this is not at all an accurate temperament, but it is related to 13-EDO and 18-EDO and produces MOS scales of 5 and 8 notes: 5 5 4 5 4 (the &quot;anti-pentatonic&quot;) and 4 1 4 1 4 4 1 4 (the &quot;quarter-tone&quot; version of the Blackwood/<a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rapoport_%28music_critic%29" rel="nofollow">Rapoport</a>/Wilson 13-EDO &quot;subminor&quot; scale). Alternatively we can treat this temperament as a 2.9.21 subgroup, and instead of calling 9 degrees of 23-EDO a &quot;4/3&quot;, we can call it 21/16. Here three 21/16's gets us to 9/4, meaning 1029/1024 is tempered out. This allows us to treat a triad of 0-4-9 degrees of 23-EDO as an approximation to 16:18:21, and 0-5-9 as 1/(16:18:21); both of these triads are abundant in the 8-note MOS scale.<br />
