Lambeth's polytriadic method involves tuning an ensemble (of 2 or more instruments/groups) so that each is tuned to a different '''triad''' or subset of a larger overarching scale. | |||
* '''Application:''' It allows composers to approach complex temperaments (like those without consonant small MOS scales) or large [[just intonation]] sets by breaking them down into simpler, manageable triadic parts. | * '''Application:''' It allows composers to approach complex temperaments (like those without consonant small MOS scales) or large [[just intonation]] sets by breaking them down into simpler, manageable triadic parts. | ||

Lambeth's Equalizer subgroup method involves tuning to a [[just intonation subgroup]] designed to balance specific types of harmonics to achieve a specific aesthetic. | |||

Lambeth's substitute harmonic method involves replacing a simple, lower harmonic with a complex, higher harmonic that closely approximates it, thereby "fudging" the tuning into a different subgroup. | |||
* '''Sharp Substitutes:''' Replacing a harmonic with a slightly sharper higher harmonic. Lambeth names these temperaments after weapons or with "com"-ending names (e.g., '''Daggerminished''', '''Pajaraxe''', '''Dotcom''', '''Sitcom''', '''Romcom'''). | * '''Sharp Substitutes:''' Replacing a harmonic with a slightly sharper higher harmonic.

Lambeth's quasipelog theory is a framework for approaching '''[[16edo]]''' (and other EDOs supporting the '''2.3.5.11 [[mavila]] temperament''', like {{EDOs|EDOS 23, 30, 37, and 39}}). It is inspired by Indonesian [[Gamelan]] theory, the [[Armodue]] school, and [[Erv Wilson]]'s [[MOS]] scales. | |||
* '''Concept:''' It focuses on specific scales that mimic the feel of Pelog scales but within a 16-tone equal temperament context. | * '''Concept:''' It focuses on specific scales that mimic the feel of Pelog scales but within a 16-tone equal temperament context. | ||

* '''Timbre:''' A key part of the theory is the avoidance of harmonic timbres. Lambeth recommends "inharmonic" sounds such as metallophones, bells, or "thin/reedy" waveforms (like sine or woodwinds) to complement the tuning. | * '''Timbre:''' A key part of the theory is the avoidance of harmonic timbres.
