:: Though maybe you know something about synthesizing a timbre without 5, 10, 15, … overtones? (To try it in 17edo: I imagine subminor and supermajor thirds would look more consonant without ghosts of detuned minor and major thirds interfring.) IIRC Xenharmonic FMTS allows to generate specific overtones, but is it possible to somehow filter them out instead?

:::The trick to overtone elimination is careful use of Pulse Width Modulation. Get a synth with a square or tri/saw that lets you alter the width/angle of the waveforms and carefully adjust it until the right ones are misssing. On ableton live's Analog a no 5's pulse wave is conveniently at precisely 35%, for example. That or if the synth has a notch filter, set key tracking to 100% and the Q right up and put it directly over the harmonic you want to eliminate. This won't get rid of all it's multiples as well in the same way, but it's a good start, especially if it has 2 or 3 filters you can use in tandem.
