45/44: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

'''45/44''', ~38.906 cents, the '''undecimal 1/5-tone''', is the interval between [[11/9]] and [[5/4]], and also between [[11/10]] and [[9/8]]. It is tempered out by the patent vals for [[12edo|12]], [[19edo|19]], and [[26edo|26]] equal. When one uses 45/44 as an interval in its own right, it has properties akin to a sort of chroma.

45/44 is also known as the "cake" comma, from when Ocean Stegosaurus Tardigrade was baking a cake and misread flour and sugar measurements on his scale, leading to the inclusion of 11/9 times the amount suggested in his recipe. To compensate, he writes "I increased all the other ingredients by a neutral third, except the eggs, which I increased by a major third because I couldn't be bothered to measure out eight ninths of an egg." We see here the equating of 11/9 with 5/4, leading to the tempering out of 45/44. The cake turned out fine but slightly burnt on the top.
