This Layout places Mavila[7] on the white keys and Mavila[9] on the white keys. As you can see, flats are higher than naturals and sharps are lower.

Another interesting approach can include two interwoven &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/8edo"&gt;8-EDO&lt;/a&gt; scales (narrow 12/11 neutral seconds). There are two major seventh intervals, a harmonic seventh at step 13\16, a 7/4 ratio approximation, sharp by 6.174 cents, followed by an undecimal 11/6 ratio or neutral seventh (which is mapped in 16's &lt;strong&gt;Mavila&lt;/strong&gt; as a major seventh). If we take the 300-cent minor third as an approximation of the harmonic 19th (&lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/19_16"&gt;19/16&lt;/a&gt;, approximately 297.5 cents), that adds another overtone which can combine with the approximation of the harmonic seventh to form a 16:19:28 triad (pictured below).&lt;br /&gt;

The interval between the 28th &amp;amp; 19th overtones, 28:19, measures approximately 671.3 cents, which is 3.7 cents away from 16edo's &amp;quot;narrow fifth&amp;quot;. Another voicing for this chord is 14:16:19, which features 19:14 as the outer interval (528.7 cents just, 525.0 cents in 16edo). A perhaps more consonant open voicing is 7:16:19.&lt;br /&gt;

16-EDO notation can be easy utilizing Goldsmith's Circle of keys, nominals, and respective notation. The nominals for a 6 line staff can be switched for Wilson's Beta and Epsilon additions to A-G. Armodue of Italy uses a 4-line staff for 16-EDO.&lt;br /&gt;

[[toc]]
**16-EDO** is the [[equal division of the octave]] into sixteen narrow chromatic semitones each of 75 [[cent]]s exactly. It is not especially good at representing most low-integer musical intervals, but it has a [[7_4|7/4]] which is six cents sharp, and a [[5_4|5/4]] which is eleven cents flat. Four steps of it gives the 300 cent minor third interval, the same of that 12-EDO, giving it four diminished seventh chords exactly like those of [[12edo|12-EDO]], and a diminished triad on each scale step.

=Hexadecaphonic Octave Theory= 

The scale supports the diminished temperament with its 1/4 octave period, though its generator size, equal to its step size of 75 cents, is smaller than ideal. Its very flat 3/2 of 675 cents supports Mavila temperament, where the mapping of major and minor is reversed. The temperament could be popular for its 150-cent "3/4-tone" equal division of the traditional 300-cent minor third.

16-EDO is also a tuning for the [[Jubilismic clan|no-threes 7-limit temperament tempering out 50/49]]. This has a flat major third as generator, for which 16-EDO provides 5\16 octaves. For this, there are MOS of sizes 7, 10, and 13; these are shown below under "**Magic family of scales**".

[[Easley Blackwood]] writes of 16-EDO:
"16 notes: This tuning is best thought of as a combination of four intertwined diminished seventh chords. Since 12-note tuning can be regarded as a combination of three diminished seventh chords, it is plain that the two tunings have elements in common. The most obvious difference in the way the two tunings sound and work is that triads in 16-note tuning, although recognizable, are too discordant to serve as the final harmony in cadences. Keys can still be established by successions of altered subdominant and dominant harmonies, however, and the Etude is based mainly upon this property. The fundamental consonant harmony employed is a minor triad with an added minor seventh."

Another interesting approach can include two interwoven [[8edo|8-EDO]] scales (narrow 12/11 neutral seconds). There are two major seventh intervals, a harmonic seventh at step 13\16, a 7/4 ratio approximation, sharp by 6.174 cents, followed by an undecimal 11/6 ratio or neutral seventh (which is mapped in 16's **Mavila** as a major seventh). If we take the 300-cent minor third as an approximation of the harmonic 19th ([[19_16|19/16]], approximately 297.5 cents), that adds another overtone which can combine with the approximation of the harmonic seventh to form a 16:19:28 triad (pictured below).
[[image:http://www.ronsword.com/161928%20copy.jpg width="316" height="179"]]

The interval between the 28th & 19th overtones, 28:19, measures approximately 671.3 cents, which is 3.7 cents away from 16edo's "narrow fifth". Another voicing for this chord is 14:16:19, which features 19:14 as the outer interval (528.7 cents just, 525.0 cents in 16edo). A perhaps more consonant open voicing is 7:16:19.


=Hexadecaphonic Notation= 

16-EDO notation can be easy utilizing Goldsmith's Circle of keys, nominals, and respective notation. The nominals for a 6 line staff can be switched for Wilson's Beta and Epsilon additions to A-G. Armodue of Italy uses a 4-line staff for 16-EDO.
[[image:http://ronsword.com/DSgoldsmith_piece.jpg width="1008" height="342"]]
----
In 16-EDO diatonic scales are dissonant and "shimmery" because of the 25 cent raised superfourth in conjunction with the 25 cent subtracted fifth / poor 3/2 approximation. Scales like the Harmonic Minor scale in 16-EDO require 4 step sizes.
Moment of Symmetry Scales like Mavila [7] (or "Inverse/Anti-Diatonic" which reverses step sizes of diatonic from LLsLLLs to ssLsssL in the heptatonic variation) can work as an alternative to the traditional diatonic scale. The 6-line 16-EDO "Mavila-[9] Staff" does just this, and places the arrangement (222122221) on nine white "natural" keys of the 16-EDO keyboard. [[23edo|23-EDO]] also works with the Mavila-[9] 6-line staff, notated as 1/3 tones of 16-EDO. If the 9-note "Nonatonic" MOS is adapted for 16-EDO, then perhaps it makes sense to refer to Octaves as 2/1, "[[Decave]]".

"Like the conventional 12-EDO diatonic and pentatonic (meantone) scales, these arise from tempering out a
unison vector from Fokker periodicity blocks. Only in 16-EDO, that unison vector is 135:128, instead of 81:80."

==16 Tone Piano Layout Based on the Anti-diatonic Scale== 
[[image:16-EDO-PIano-Diagram.png width="748" height="293"]]
This Layout places Mavila[7] on the white keys and Mavila[9] on the white keys. As you can see, flats are higher than naturals and sharps are lower.

[[Igliashon Jones]] writes: "The trouble (in 16-EDO) has ... to do with the fact that the distance between the major third
and the "fourth" is the same as the distance between the "fourth" and the "fifth" (i.e. near a 12/11)...This mean(s) that
135/128 (the difference between 16/15 and 9/8) is tempered out...."

==Harmonizing Mavila/Armodue in 16 EDO== 

Because 16 edo doesn't approximate 3/2 well at all, triadic harmony based on thirds isn't a good option.
However triadic harmony can be based on on sevenths rather than thirds. For instance, 16 edo approximates 7/4 well enough to use
it in place of the usual 3/2. A triad can then be constructed by adding another seventh on top producing two possibilities for asymmetric
sevenths triads. a small one: 0-975-1050 called hard and a large one: 0-1050-975 called soft. In addition two other symmetrical triads
0-975-975 and 0-1050-1050 are also obvious possible chords.
Their characteristic metallic sound has earned them the name "Metallic triads".

===MOS that support metallic harmony=== 
Mavila 7 contains two hard triads on degrees 1 and 4 and two soft triads on degrees 2 and 6. The other three chords
are wide symmetrical triads 0-1050-1050. Mavila 9 introduced two more soft triads while the Wilson scale introduces two more hard triads.

See [[Metallic Harmony]].

It's worth noting that the 525-cent interval is almost exactly halfway in between 4/3 and 11/8, making it EXTREMELY discordant.<br />

The scale supports the diminished temperament with its 1/4 octave period, though its generator size, equal to its step size of 75 cents, is smaller than ideal. Its very flat 3/2 of 675 cents supports Mavila temperament, where the mapping of major and minor is reversed. The temperament could be popular for its 150-cent &quot;3/4-tone&quot; equal division of the traditional 300-cent minor third.<br />
<br />
16-EDO is also a tuning for the <a class="wiki_link" href="/Jubilismic%20clan">no-threes 7-limit temperament tempering out 50/49</a>. This has a flat major third as generator, for which 16-EDO provides 5\16 octaves. For this, there are MOS of sizes 7, 10, and 13; these are shown below under &quot;<strong>Magic family of scales</strong>&quot;.<br />
<br />
<a class="wiki_link" href="/Easley%20Blackwood">Easley Blackwood</a> writes of 16-EDO:<br />
&quot;16 notes: This tuning is best thought of as a combination of four intertwined diminished seventh chords. Since 12-note tuning can be regarded as a combination of three diminished seventh chords, it is plain that the two tunings have elements in common. The most obvious difference in the way the two tunings sound and work is that triads in 16-note tuning, although recognizable, are too discordant to serve as the final harmony in cadences. Keys can still be established by successions of altered subdominant and dominant harmonies, however, and the Etude is based mainly upon this property. The fundamental consonant harmony employed is a minor triad with an added minor seventh.&quot;<br />
<br />
Another interesting approach can include two interwoven <a class="wiki_link" href="/8edo">8-EDO</a> scales (narrow 12/11 neutral seconds). There are two major seventh intervals, a harmonic seventh at step 13\16, a 7/4 ratio approximation, sharp by 6.174 cents, followed by an undecimal 11/6 ratio or neutral seventh (which is mapped in 16's <strong>Mavila</strong> as a major seventh). If we take the 300-cent minor third as an approximation of the harmonic 19th (<a class="wiki_link" href="/19_16">19/16</a>, approximately 297.5 cents), that adds another overtone which can combine with the approximation of the harmonic seventh to form a 16:19:28 triad (pictured below).<br />
<!-- ws:start:WikiTextRemoteImageRule:735:&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.ronsword.com/161928%20copy.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;height: 179px; width: 316px;&quot; /&gt; --><img src="http://www.ronsword.com/161928%20copy.jpg" alt="external image 161928%20copy.jpg" title="external image 161928%20copy.jpg" style="height: 179px; width: 316px;" /><!-- ws:end:WikiTextRemoteImageRule:735 --><br />
<br />
The interval between the 28th &amp; 19th overtones, 28:19, measures approximately 671.3 cents, which is 3.7 cents away from 16edo's &quot;narrow fifth&quot;. Another voicing for this chord is 14:16:19, which features 19:14 as the outer interval (528.7 cents just, 525.0 cents in 16edo). A perhaps more consonant open voicing is 7:16:19.<br />

16-EDO notation can be easy utilizing Goldsmith's Circle of keys, nominals, and respective notation. The nominals for a 6 line staff can be switched for Wilson's Beta and Epsilon additions to A-G. Armodue of Italy uses a 4-line staff for 16-EDO.<br />

<hr />
In 16-EDO diatonic scales are dissonant and &quot;shimmery&quot; because of the 25 cent raised superfourth in conjunction with the 25 cent subtracted fifth / poor 3/2 approximation. Scales like the Harmonic Minor scale in 16-EDO require 4 step sizes.<br />
Moment of Symmetry Scales like Mavila [7] (or &quot;Inverse/Anti-Diatonic&quot; which reverses step sizes of diatonic from LLsLLLs to ssLsssL in the heptatonic variation) can work as an alternative to the traditional diatonic scale. The 6-line 16-EDO &quot;Mavila-[9] Staff&quot; does just this, and places the arrangement (222122221) on nine white &quot;natural&quot; keys of the 16-EDO keyboard. <a class="wiki_link" href="/23edo">23-EDO</a> also works with the Mavila-[9] 6-line staff, notated as 1/3 tones of 16-EDO. If the 9-note &quot;Nonatonic&quot; MOS is adapted for 16-EDO, then perhaps it makes sense to refer to Octaves as 2/1, &quot;<a class="wiki_link" href="/Decave">Decave</a>&quot;.<br />
<br />
<a class="wiki_link" href="/Paul%20Erlich">Paul Erlich</a> writes,<br />
&quot;Like the conventional 12-EDO diatonic and pentatonic (meantone) scales, these arise from tempering out a<br />
unison vector from Fokker periodicity blocks. Only in 16-EDO, that unison vector is 135:128, instead of 81:80.&quot;<br />

This Layout places Mavila[7] on the white keys and Mavila[9] on the white keys. As you can see, flats are higher than naturals and sharps are lower. <br />

 <br />
Because 16 edo doesn't approximate 3/2 well at all, triadic harmony based on thirds isn't a good option.<br />
However triadic harmony can be based on on sevenths rather than thirds. For instance, 16 edo approximates 7/4 well enough to use<br />
it in place of the usual 3/2. A triad can then be constructed by adding another seventh on top producing two possibilities for asymmetric<br />
sevenths triads. a small one: 0-975-1050 called hard and a large one: 0-1050-975 called soft. In addition two other symmetrical triads<br />
0-975-975 and 0-1050-1050 are also obvious possible chords.<br />
Their characteristic metallic sound has earned them the name &quot;Metallic triads&quot;.<br />

 Mavila 7 contains two hard triads on degrees 1 and 4 and two soft triads on degrees 2 and 6. The other three chords<br />
are wide symmetrical triads 0-1050-1050. Mavila 9 introduced two more soft triads while the Wilson scale introduces two more hard triads.<br />
