Translated scale: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

A '''translated scale''' is a scale with scale steps taken from one [[edo]] and mapped to another edo. For instance, taking 19edo's [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]] steps and mapping them to 12edo gives you a very fascinating scale containing a lot of quartal harmony. This is a special case of [[stretched tuning]] / compressed tuning where the step size of the source ~~EOD~~ is expanded/contracted to the step size of the target EDO.

Translated scales were independently discovered by both Carmen14edo and [[User:Xenoindex|Xenoindex]], and Xenoindex instead refers to them as a "virtual [[equivalency interval]]" (for example, 19\12 is a virtual equivalency interval of 12edo roughly equal to a [[tritave]]). These scales can be [[nonoctave]] depending on the source scale (for example a scale in 19edo which does not contain 12\19 will have no octaves when translated to 12edo).
