Spiral tunings: Difference between revisions

One significant characteristic that differs from most tunings is that each successive lower octave has more notes. At first sight, the different progressions don't seem to say much. It helps to analyze each tuning by looking at its full interval matrix, revealing that some ~~spirals~~ have many more types of minor thirds, while others have more fifths. Some completely dodge certain harmonics, regardless of how many "strings" you add; some combinations just never happen.

The most important part is the number of sides, which will expose different chords at each row, some configurations make progressions more intuitive. The most altered part of the progression are the initial segments, since its the result of truncating the spiral, they are the most affected. from these different truncation different patterns still emerge. The rest of the progression are mostly equal, relatively, in most configurations. From a string length perspective, the progression is almost arithmetic, seems to increase at constant but there is an increasing unnoticeable ratio.
