In 15-EDO, this approach doesn't work as consistently as you may expect... So, how does one handle chords in 15-EDO? | ||
When creating chords in 15-EDO, I tend consider the sum of the stacked intervals to be more important for the chord's function than the values of those intervals; for instance, 4+5 and 6+3 both have a sum of 9, so the chords [0 4 9]\15 and [0 6 9]\15 would be placed into the same category despite having completely different step sizes. | When creating chords in 15-EDO, I tend consider the sum of the stacked intervals to be more important for the chord's function than the values of those intervals; for instance, 4+5 and 6+3 both have a sum of 9, so the chords [0 4 9]\15 and [0 6 9]\15 would be placed into the same category despite having completely different step sizes. | ||
