Hobbled scale: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

From this you have a rank-3 scale with a large variety of chords. By climbing the 'circle of fifths' you alternate between a sharp and a flat fifth (as 23edo is a dual-fifth system). By choosing which note to hobble, you not only nudge the melodic movement (for instance, choosing to have a smaller leading tone by hobbling the last step) but also change harmonic qualities of chords throughout your scale. If you want your tonic chord to have a flat fifth, you would choose to hobble a note that occurs below the fifth, and you would choose a note above if you wanted a sharper fifth.

Furthermore, 23edo is sandwiched between two diatonic-containing EDOs: 24edo with its basic diatonic, and 22edo with its 709c hard diatonic. If we instead choose to hobble the 22edo diatonic by ~~_increasing_~~ an edo step, you create a superpyth hobbled diatonic scale:

Furthermore, 23edo is sandwiched between two diatonic-containing EDOs: 24edo with its basic diatonic, and 22edo with its 709c hard diatonic. If we instead choose to hobble the 22edo diatonic by ''increasing'' an edo step, you create a "superpyth hobbled diatonic" scale:
