Sensi: Difference between revisions

Line 242:

It is worth noting that sensi distinguishes itself from other structures, the [[sensamagic clan|sensamagic temperaments]], based around 245/243 (whose basic form in the 2.9/7.5/3 subgroup is known as [[sentry]]) by virtue of its minor third (6/5) being ''flattened'' from just rather than sharpened. This results in the supermajor third being sharpened even more than is typical, so much so that it is tuned [[interseptimal]]ly and may not fulfill all the functions that [[~]]9/7 is intended to have.

One way around this is to eschew the generator's interpretation as 9/7 altogether, and focus on the [[5-limit]] part of sensi, which is known as [[sensipent]] (whose comma is [[78732/78125]]). From there, an interpretation of the generator as [[31/24]]~[[40/31]] is apparent. Beyond the 2.3.5.31 subgroup, more accurate interpretations (in comparison to sensi) of sensipent's extended harmony are given by [[sensible]] (adding primes 11, 17, and 23) and [[sendai]] (adding 23 and 29).

There are also alternative mappings of 7, including [[sensei]] (+32 generators, with a tuning on the flatter side of the range) and [[warrior]] (-33 generators, with a tuning on the sharper side); warrior combines with the mapping of sensible.
