Factor 9 grid: Difference between revisions

Factor 9 grid is a type of musical scale which was first proposed for esoteric reasons, as a supposed replacement to [[12edo]]. The motivation behind the scale, or any kind of esoteric just intonation proposal, is that the irrational pitch standard of equal temperament has an acoustically unpleasant effect, that subsequently allegedly spreads to the subconscious part of the mind and results in degradation of the quality of life.

The esoteric properties of the scale were subsequently refuted by an infamous YouTuber, bassist, and composer Adam Neely.

== Theory ==

The scale is an isoharmonic sequence that consists of the following notes, in Hertz: 126, 135, 144, 153, 162, 171, 180, 189, 198, 207, 216, 225, 234, 243, (octave), and their octave displacements. Therefore this is an [[otonal]] scale running from 14th to 28th harmonic.This is an arithmetic progression with the difference of 9, hence why this scale was named, although quite misnomerly, "Factor 9 grid". Since the largest prime is 23, this makes Factor 9 grid a part of [[23-limit]] just intonation.
