Relation between harmonics and ADO system
Relation between harmonics and ADO system


ADO (like EDL) is based on **Superparticular ratios** and **harmonic series**. Have a look at 12-ADO in this picture:
== Relation to superparticular ratios ==
An ADO has step sizes of [[superparticular ratios]] with increasing sizes.

== Relation between otonality and ADO system ==


The above picture shows that ADO system is classified as :
We can consider ADO system as otonal system. Otonality is a term introduced by Harry Partch to describe chords whose notes are the overtones (multiples) of a given fixed tone.Considering ADO , an Otonality is a collection of pitches which can be expressed in ratios that have equal denominators. For example, 1/1, 5/4, and 3/2 form an Otonality because they can be written as 4/4, 5/4, 6/4. Every Otonality is therefore part of the harmonic series. nominator here is called "numerary nexus".An Otonality corresponds to an **arithmetic series** of frequencies or a harmonic series of wavelengths or distances on a string instrument.
 
*System with unequal **epimorios** (**Superparticular**) divisions.
*System based on ascending series of superparticular ratios with descending sizes.
*System which covers superparticular ratios between harmonic of number C (in this example 12)to harmonic of Number 2C(in this example 24).
