11-tone equal temperament, or 11edo, divides the octave into eleven equal steps of approximately 109.09 cents. | |||
===Theory=== | ===Theory=== | ||
Compared to 12edo, the intervals of 11edo are stretched: | |||
* The "minor second," at 109.09 cents, functions melodically and harmonically very much like the 100-cent minor second of 12edo. | |||
* The "major second," at 218.18 cents, works in a similar fashion to the 200-cent major second of 12edo, but as a major ninth, it may sound less harmonious. Its inversion, at 981.82 cents, can function as a "bluesy" seventh relative to 12edo's 1000-cent interval, although it is still about 13 cents away from 7/4. | |||
* The "minor third," at 327.27 cents, is rather sharp and encroaching upon "neutral third." | |||
* The "major third," at 436.36 cents, is quite sharp, and closer to the supermajor third of frequency ratio 9/7 than the simpler third of 5/4. | |||
* The "perfect fourth," at 545.45 cents, does not sound like a perfect fourth at all, and passes more easily as the 11/8 superfourth than the simpler perfect fourth of 4/3. | |||
11edo can produce an approximation of an 11-limit JI chord, lacking a third and fifth harmonic: 8:9:11:14:16. The error is rather large, and this chord is sure to beat quite a bit with harmonic timbres. | |||

===MOS Scales=== | |||
Although 11edo has one fewer interval in the octave than 12edo, in terms of moment-of-symmetry scales, it offers a great deal more variety. This is because 11 is a prime number, while 12 is composite. Cycles of 2\11, 3\11, 4\11 and 5\11 produce scales which do not repeat at the octave until all 11 intervals have been included. | |||
2\11 generates 2 2 2 2 3 and 2 2 2 2 2 1. | |||
3\11 generates 3 3 3 2 and 1 2 1 2 1 2 2. | |||
4\11 generates 4 4 3, 1 3 1 3 3, and 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 2. | |||
5\11 generates 5 5 1, 1 4 1 4 1, 1 1 3 1 1 3 1, and 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1. | |||
