: Yep, I've listened to it a few days ago and loved it. Perhaps "not much of a point in going bigger" is the wrong wording; sorry if it got to you in the wrong way. I think it's a combination of "larger EDOs having less distinct character/fewer limitations" and "larger EDOs being less practical to work with". --[[User:Flirora|Flirora]] ([[User talk:Flirora|talk]]) 15:48, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

:: I do understand, and again, sorry about being rude- and dare I say prideful.  I should point out that mega-edos do have their own distinct character from one another, although you do have to know what to listen for- for example, 159edo's character is like that of 53edo when it comes to the 3-limit, but since a stack of three tempered [[8/7]] intervals equal a tempered [[3/2]] perfect fifth, that gives 159edo a slightly different character than 53edo when it comes to the 7-limit.  Also, since a stack of three tempered [[128/121]] diatonic semitones equals a tempered [[32/27]] minor third, that lends to another case of 159edo having a slightly different character.  For me, what prevents me from going too much larger is that 171 is the largest EDO with what I consider to be a reasonable step size, as larger mega-edos are characterized by having half an EDO-step being unnoticeable, and that's too small for me- I'd rather work with a mega-edo with steps that are noticeable when played at the same time.  Funny enough, my first microtonal song was in 24edo- "[[:File:Folly of a Drunk.mp3|Folly of a Drunk]]", and this song has some unique harmonic motion. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 16:18, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
