: '''Aura:''' With the discovery that this EDO [[~~tempers~~]] out the [[punctisma]], and that it creates part of the structure that [[24edo]] inherits, I'm interested in finding ways to put an approximation of this EDO to use.

: '''Aura:''' With the discovery that this EDO [[temper]]s out the [[punctisma]], and that it creates part of the structure that [[24edo]] inherits, I'm interested in finding ways to put an approximation of this EDO to use.

: '''Bozu:''' [[Hyperpent]] with something resembling the chromatic scale. This is the smallest edo set that has anything worthwhile to offer. Constraints are within the critical range where melody, harmony, and chord changes can make some kind of sense. It's not my favourite edo, but it has its own characteristics.

: '''Nicolai:''' The first ''actually'' usable EDO. Decent chords & decent melodic ideas. [[Sevish]]'s ''Vidya'' is a good example of how it can sound.

Line 200:

: '''Yourmusic Productions:''' Like 14, not as good at [[5-limit|simple harmonies]] as 12, but some glorious extended [[blackwood]] chords that combine more notes than you can in 12 and still sound good. [[Porcupine]] looks simpler, but I actually find it more of a struggle than blackwood to use.

: '''Carmen14edo/Bragtime:''' Blackwood[10] is like the coolest scale ever, change my mind (you won't)

: '''Deja Igliashon:''' One of my all-time favorite and most-used tunings. It absolutely RULES on [[guitar]], it's so easy, it's so fun, it's so versatile, everyone should try it! Also, why is no one talking about the fact that 15edo is essentially the smallest EDO that can recognizably render [[11-limit|harmonics 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11]]? Yeah, Blackwood[10] is rad AF for having an unbroken circular chain of alternating major and minor 5-limit triads with no [[wolf interval]]s, but like...have you seen [[Triforce]][9]? It has three 8:10:11:12:14:15 [[hexad]]s! That's UNHINGED. Sure they are not tuned super accurately, but you can practically just mash random combinations of pitches in that scale and end up with some recognizable [[11-limit]] harmony. Also, 15edo supports [[Orgone]] temperament, like 11edo and 26edo, but unlike those other two, 15edo [[~~tempers~~]] out [[56/55]], making [[5/4]]=[[14/11]], and making the [[utonal]] counterpart of [[8:11:14]] equal to [[4:5:7]]. That gives Orgone[7] some extra [[concordance]]

: '''Fumica:''' The error of the fifth is getting quite large for its step size, particularly if you compare it with 10edo. Either this or 10edo can be viewed as the opposite of 14edo, so I think of this as the direct competitor of 10edo. As for which I prefer? I have no idea. A-tier.

: '''Vector:''' A shining example of why the [[chain of fifths]] is not suitable as a universal model. 15edo has a [[diatonic scale]] (the [[zarlino]] scale of 2313231) that makes for a much more familiar interpretation of the tuning than inflecting the 5edo notes up and down. In terms of just intonation, it approximates simple intervals of the [[11-limit]], and tempers the infamous zarlino [[wolf interval|wolf fifth]] flat enough that it merges with the concordant 11th [[subharmonic]], thereby solving the main problem that zarlino itself has.
