| |
| of superparticular and other ratios within [[Harry Partch]]'s larger
| |
| 17-limit set, in the tuning system and keyboard arrangement I call
| |
| Peppermint 24.
| |
| &nbsp;
| |
| Peppermint 24 takes as its basis a [[Regular Temperaments|regular temperament]] mentioned in
| |
| [[Erv Wilson|Ervin Wilson]]'s Scale Tree and described on the Tuning List by [[Keenan Pepper]],
| |
| with a fifth of about 704.096 cents, and a precise ratio of
| |
| [[Phi]], the Golden Section (~1.618) between the larger chromatic semitone
| |
| (e.g. C-C#) at about 128.669 cents and the smaller diatonic semitone
| |
| (e.g. C#-D) at about 79.522 cents.
| |
| &nbsp;
| |
| In Peppermint 24, two regular 12-note chains of this temperament are
| |
| placed at a distance of approximately 58.680 cents, so as to yield
| |
| some pure ratios of 6:7 (~266.871 cents).

| |

| &nbsp;
| |
| In the following catalogue of some ratio equivalents and mappings, I
| |
| will focus on intervals no further from just than 8:9 or 9:16, which
| |
| vary from their pure sizes by about 4.282 cents (twice the tempering
| |

| | In the following catalogue of some ratio equivalents and mappings, I<br /> |
| | will focus on intervals no further from just than 8:9 or 9:16, which<br /> |
| | vary from their pure sizes by about 4.282 cents (twice the tempering<br /> |
| | of the fifth, at about 2.141 cents wide of 2:3).<br /> |
| | <br /> |
| | Octave numbers appear in a MIDI-style notation, with C4 as middle C;<br /> |
| | just ratios and tempered equivalents are given values in cents, shown<br /> |
| | in parentheses, with tempered variations in cents also shown.<br /> |
| | <br /> |
| | To describe the 58.68-cent interval between the two keyboards, whose<br /> |
| | addition or subtraction plays a role in obtaining or approximating<br /> |
| | many ratios, I shall the term &quot;quasi-diesis,&quot; or QD for short. This<br /> |
