13edo scales: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

The archaeotonic scale is overall brighter, more "majory" and more concordant than the oneirotonic scale: there are more 4:5:9 chords and chords involving the 11th and 13th harmonics, and extremely dissonant intervals such as 16/11 and 32/21 are less common.

An interesting feature is that you can switch whether you perceive an interval as minor or major by approaching it from opposite directions: for example, a minor sixth can be made to sound like a diatonic major sixth by walking up large-large-small-large-large from the tonic or like a diatonic minor sixth by walking down by two whole steps.

~~The position of the small step determines the sound of the 7-note MOSes.~~

*Ryonian: Whole tone with a leading tone up to the tonic

*Karakaliaan: Bright whole tone major with a bit of Mixolydian

*Lobonian: Bright with a bit of natural minor

*Horthathian: The true Lydian equivalent? + Locrian

*Oukranian: Ironically the most major scale-like of them all?

*Tamashian: The true "minor" equivalent

*Zo-Kalarian: The Phrygian equivalent

You can also switch whether you perceive an interval as minor or major by approaching it from opposite directions: for example, a minor sixth can be made to sound like a diatonic major sixth by walking up large-large-small-large-large from the tonic or like a diatonic minor sixth by walking down by two whole steps.
