72edo: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

The octave, fifth and fourth are the same size as they would be in 12edo, 72, 42 and 30 steps respectively, but the classic major third ([[5/4]]) measures 23 steps, not 24, and other [[5-limit]] major intervals are one step flat of 12edo while minor ones are one step sharp. The septimal minor seventh ([[7/4]]) is 58 steps, while the undecimal semiaugmented fourth ([[11/8]]) is 33.

72et is the only 11-limit regular temperament which treats harmonics 24 to 28 as being equidistant in pitch, splits [[25/24]] into two equal [[49/48]][[~]][[50/49]]'s, and splits [[28/27]] into two equal [[55/54]]~[[56/55]]'s (144edo is enfactored in the 11-limit with 72edo, so it is already covered here). It is also an excellent tuning for [[miracle]] temperament, especially the 11-limit version, and the related rank-3 temperament [[prodigy]], and is a good tuning for other temperaments and scales, including [[wizard]], [[harry]], [[catakleismic]], [[compton]], [[unidec]] and [[tritikleismic]].

The 13th harmonic (octave reduced) is so closely mapped on [[acoustic phi]] that 72edo could be treated as a 2.3.5.7.11.ϕ.17 temperament.
