Consider the fact that TE tuning does not treat divisive ratios as more important than multiplicative ratios – 5/3 and 15/1 are taken as equally important, for example. As POTE destretches the equave, it keeps the angle in the tuning space unchanged, and thus sacrifices multiplicative ratios for divisive ratios. On the contrary, CTE sticks to the original design book of TE as its result remains TE optimal. | |||
