The 15 equal division of 3, the tritave, divides it into 15 equal parts of 126.797 cents each, corresponding to 9.464 edo, or 18.928 ed4. It has 5 and 13 closely in tune, but does not do so well for 7 and 11, which are quite sharp. It tempers out the comma |0 22 -15&gt; in the 5-limit, which is tempered out by [[19edo]] but has an [[optimal patent val]] of [[303edo]]. As a 3.5.13 subgroup system, it tempers out 2197/2187 and 3159/3125. In the 7-limit it tempers out 375/343 and 6561/6125, and in the 11-limit, 81/77, 125/121 and 363/343. 15edt is related to the 2.3.5.13 subgroup temperament 19&amp;123, which has a mapping [&lt;1 0 0 0|, &lt;0 15 22 35|], where the generator, an approximate 27/25, has a POTE tuning of 126.773, very close to 15edt.

15edt contains 4 intervals from [[5edt|5edt]] and 2 intervals from [[3edt|3edt]], meaning that it contains 6 redundant intervals and 8 new intervals. The new intervals introduced include good approximations to 15/14, 15/13, 4/3, 5/3 and their tritave inverses. This allows for new chord possibilities such as 1:3:4:5:9:12:13:14:15:16...


15edt also contains a 5L5s MOS similar to Blackwood Decatonic, which I call Ebony. This MOS has a period of 1/5 of the tritave and the generator is a single step. The major scale is sLsLsLsLsL, and the minor scale is LsLsLsLsLs.

15edt approximates the 5th and 13th harmonics (and 29th) very well. Taking these as consonances one obtains an 3L+3s MOS "augmented scale", in which three 13/9 intervals close to a tritave, and another three are set 5/3 away.

15 Equal Divisions of the Tritave

Properties

The 15 equal division of 3, the tritave, divides it into 15 equal parts of 126.797 cents each, corresponding to 9.464 edo, or 18.928 ed4. It has 5 and 13 closely in tune, but does not do so well for 7 and 11, which are quite sharp. It tempers out the comma |0 22 -15> in the 5-limit, which is tempered out by 19edo but has an optimal patent val of 303edo. As a 3.5.13 subgroup system, it tempers out 2197/2187 and 3159/3125. In the 7-limit it tempers out 375/343 and 6561/6125, and in the 11-limit, 81/77, 125/121 and 363/343. 15edt is related to the 2.3.5.13 subgroup temperament 19&123, which has a mapping [<1 0 0 0|, <0 15 22 35|], where the generator, an approximate 27/25, has a POTE tuning of 126.773, very close to 15edt.

Intervals of 15edt

Degrees Cents Approximate Ratios
0 0 1/1
1 126.797 14/13, 15/14, 16/15, 29/27
2 253.594 15/13
3 380.391 5/4
4 507.188 4/3
5 633.985 13/9
6 760.782 14/9
7 887.579 5/3
8 1014.376 9/5
9 1141.173 27/14
10 1267.970 27/13
11 1394.767 9/4 (9/8 plus an octave)
12 1521.564 12/5 (6/5 plus an octave)
13 1648.361 13/5 (13/10 plus an octave)
14 1775.158 14/5 (7/5 plus an octave)
15 1901.955 3/1

15edt contains 4 intervals from 5edt and 2 intervals from 3edt, meaning that it contains 6 redundant intervals and 8 new intervals. The new intervals introduced include good approximations to 15/14, 15/13, 4/3, 5/3 and their tritave inverses. This allows for new chord possibilities such as 1:3:4:5:9:12:13:14:15:16...

15edt also contains a 5L5s MOS similar to Blackwood Decatonic, which I call Ebony. This MOS has a period of 1/5 of the tritave and the generator is a single step. The major scale is sLsLsLsLsL, and the minor scale is LsLsLsLsLs.

15edt approximates the 5th and 13th harmonics (and 29th) very well. Taking these as consonances one obtains an 3L+3s MOS "augmented scale", in which three 13/9 intervals close to a tritave, and another three are set 5/3 away.
