Original Wikitext content:
[[toc]] <span style="display: block; text-align: right;">[[xenharmonie/24edo|Deutsch]] - [[24平均律|日本語]] </span> =Basics= The 24edo system divides the octave into 24 equal parts of exactly 50 cents each. It is also known as **quarter-tone tuning**, since it evenly divides the 12-tone equal tempered semitone in two. Quarter-tones are the most commonly used microtonal tuning due to its retention of the familiar 12 tones and since it is the smallest microtonal equal temperament that contains all the 12 notes, and also because of its use in theory and occasionally in practice in [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Arabic]] music. It is easy to jump into this tuning and make microtonal music right away using common 12 equal software and even instruments - [[DIY Quartertone Composition with 12 equal tools|see this page]]. =24edo as a temperament= The [[Harmonic Limit|5-limit]] approximations in 24-tone equal temperament are the same as those in 12-tone equal temperament, therefore 24-tone equal temperament offers nothing new as far as approximating the 5-limit is concerned. The 7th harmonic-based intervals (7:4, 7:5 and 7:6) are almost as bad in 24-tET as in 12-tET. To achieve a satisfactory level of approximation while maintaining the 12 notes of 12-tET requires high-degree tunings like 36-tET, 72-tET, 84-tET or 156-tET. The tunings supplied by 72 cannot be used for all low-limit just intervals, but they can be used on the 17-limit [[k*N subgroups|3*24 subgroup]] 2.3.125.35.11.325.17 [[just intonation subgroup]], making some of the excellent approximations of 72 available in 24edo. Chords based on this subgroup afford considerable scope for harmony, including in particular intervals and chords using only 2, 3, 11 and 17. Another approach would be to treat 24-EDO as a 2.3.11.17.19 subgroup temperament, on which it is quite accurate. || Degree || Cents coarse/fine DMS ||= Approximate Ratios* ||||= [[Ups and Downs Notation|ups and downs notation]] || || 0 || 0 ||= 1/1 || unison || P1 || || 1 || 50, 60 15° ||= 33/32, 34/33 || up-unison, downminor 2nd || ^P1, vm2 || || 2 || 100, 120 30° ||= 17/16, 18/17 || aug unison, minor 2nd || A1, m2 || || 3 || 150, 180 45° ||= 12/11 || mid 2nd || ~2 || || 4 || 200, 240 60° ||= 9/8 || major 2nd || M2 || || 5 || 250, 300 75° ||= 22/19 || upmajor 2nd, downminor 3rd || ^M2, vm3 || || 6 || 300, 360 90° ||= 19/16 || minor 3rd || m3 || || 7 || 350, 420 105° ||= 11/9 || mid 3rd || ~3 || || 8 || 400, 480 120° ||= 24/19 || major 3rd || M3 || || 9 || 450, 540 135° ||= 22/17 || upmajor 3rd, down-fourth || ^M3, vP4 || || 10 || 500, 600 150° ||= 4/3 || fourth || P4 || || 11 || 550, 660 165° ||= 11/8 || up-fourth || ^P4 || || 12 || 600, 720 180° ||= 17/12 || augmented 4th, diminished 5th || A4, d5 || || 13 || 650, 780 195° ||= 16/11 || down-fifth || vP5 || || 14 || 700, 840 210° ||= 3/2 || fifth || P5 || || 15 || 750, 900 225° ||= 17/11 || up-fifth, downminor 6th || ^P5, vm6 || || 16 || 800, 960 240* ||= 19/12 || minor 6th || m6 || || 17 || 850, 1020 255° ||= 18/11 || mid 6th || ~6 || || 18 || 900, 1080 270° ||= 32/19 || major 6th || M6 || || 19 || 950, 1140 285° ||= 19/11 || upmajor 6th, downminor 7th || ^M6, vm7 || || 20 || 1000, 1200 300° ||= 16/9 || minor 7th || m7 || || 21 || 1050, 1260 315° ||= 11/6 || mid 7th || ~7 || || 22 || 1100, 1320 330° ||= 17/9, 32/17 || major 7th || M7 || || 23 || 1150, 1380 345° ||= 33/17, 64/33 || upmajor 7th, down-octave || ^M7, vP8 || *based on treating 24-EDO as a 2.3.11.17.19 subgroup; other approaches are possible. The 11th harmonic, and intervals derived from it, (11:10, 11:9, 11:8, 11:6, 12:11, 15:11, 16:11, 18:11, 20:11) are very well approximated in 24-tone equal temperament. The 24-tone interval of 550 cents is 1.3 cents flatter than 11:8 and is almost indistinguishable from it. In addition, the interval approximating 11:9 is 7 steps which is exactly half the perfect fifth. Some good chords in 24-tET are (the numbers are degree numbers, e.g. 4 is a major second, 8 is a major third): 0-4-8-11-14 ("major" chord with a 9:8 and a 11:8 above the root) Its inversion, 0-3-6-10-14 ("minor") 0-7-14 ("neutral") 0-5-10 (another kind of "neutral", splitting the fourth in two. The 0-5-10 can be extended into a pentatonic scale, 0-5-10-14-19-24 ([[godzilla]]), that is close to equi-pentatonic and also close to several Indonesian slêndros. In a similar way 0-7-14 extends to 0-4-7-11-14-18-21-24 ([[mohajira]]), a heptatonic scale close to several Arabic scales.) ===Commas=== 24 EDO tempers out the following commas.

Here are some of the few systems along with pros and cons. ==Mainstream Quartertone Notation== [[image:http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/n/s14_blue.gif]] or ^ = quarter-tone sharp or "Jump" or "up" [[image:http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/n/s34_blue.gif]] or #^ or ^# = three-quarter-tone sharp or "Jump-Sharp" or "upsharp" [[image:http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/n/f14_blue.gif]] or v = quarter-tone flat or "Drop" or "down" [[image:http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/n/f34_blue.gif]] or bv or vb = three-quarter-tone flat or "Drop-Flat" or "downflat" Pros: Familiar, fairly easy to learn Cons: Clutters a score easily, can get confusing when sight read at faster paces ==Alternate Quartertone Accidentals== [[image:http://faculty.mansfield.edu/jmurphy/oldsite/quartertonesharp.gif]] = quarter-tone sharp or Jump ††† (the horizontal line should connect all three vertical lines) = three quarter-tones sharp or Jump-Sharp [[image:http://www.dolmetsch.com/onequarterflat.gif]] = quarter-tone flat or Drop [[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg/9px-Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg.png]] = three quarter-tones flat or drop-flat For example, the scale 0-5-10-15-20 is written as C-D[[image:http://faculty.mansfield.edu/jmurphy/oldsite/quartertonesharp.gif]] (or E[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg/9px-Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg.png]]) F G[[image:http://faculty.mansfield.edu/jmurphy/oldsite/quartertonesharp.gif]] (or A[[image:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg/9px-Arabic_music_notation_half_flat.svg.png]]) Bb.

It's easy on the eyes, easy to recognize the various symbols and keeps a score looking tidy and neat. A possibility for the best approach would be to not use traditional sharps and flats altogether and replace them with Sagittal signs for sharp and flat. [[image:sagittal 24.PNG]] =Interval Alterations= The special alterations of the intervals and chords of 12 equal can be notated like this: Supermajor or "**Tendo**" is a major interval raised a quarter tone Subminor or "**Arto**" is a minor interval lowered a quarter tone Neutral are intervals that exist between the major and minor version of an interval The prefix **under** indicates a perfect interval lowered by one quarter tone The prefix **over** indicates a perfect interval raised by a quarter tone The Latin words "tendo" (meaning "expand") and "arto" (meaning "contract") can be used to replace the words "supermajor" and "subminor" in order to shorten the names of the intervals. =Chord Structures= 24edo features a rich variety on not only new chords, but also alterations that can be used with regular 12 Edo chords. For example, an approximation of the ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth harmonic can be added to a major triad to create a sort of super-extended chord structure of a major chord: 4:5:6:9:11:13. As for entirely new chords, 24edo features many possibilities for chords. The most obvious is the neutral or mid triad 0-7-14 however there are other options such as 0-9-14 (Ultra Triad or upmajor triad) and 0-5-14 (Infra Triad or downminor triad), the chord names being based on what kind of third is in the chord. These chords though tend to lack the forcefulness to sound like resolved, tonal sonorities but can be resolved of that issue by using tetrads in place of triads. For example, the neutral triad can have the neutral 7th added to it to make a full neutral tetrad: 0-7-14-21. However, another option is to replace the neutral third with an 11/8 to produce a sort of 11 limit neutral tetrad. 0-14-21-35 [[William Lynch]] considers this chord to be the most consonant tetrad in 24edo involving a neutral tonality. 24 edo also is very good at 15 limit and does 13 quite well allowing barbodos 10:13:15 and barbodos minor triad 26:30:39 to be used as an entirely new harmonic system. William Lynch considers these as some possible good tetrads: [[image:Three chords.PNG]] ||~ Chord name ||~ Degrees of 24edo ||~ Chord spelling ||~ Audio example || || neutral || 0 7 14 21 || 1 v3 5 v7 || [[media type="file" key="Neutral Tetrad on C.mp3" width="200" height="30"]] || || arto || 0 5 14 20 || 1 bv3 5 b7 || [[media type="file" key="arto tetrad on C.mp3" width="200" height="30"]] || || tendo || 0 9 14 19 || 1 ^3 5 bv7 || ... || Due to convenience, the names Arto and tendo have been changed to Ultra and Infra. =Naming Chords in 24edo= Naming chords in 24edo can be achieved by adding a few things to the already [[#|existing]] set of terms that are used to name 12edo chords. They are: Super + perfect interval such as "perfect fifth" means to raise it by a quarter tone Sub + perfect interval means to lower a quarter tone Sharp is to raise by one half tone Flat is to raise by a half tone Neutral, arto and tendo refer to triads or tetrads Neutral, arto, or tendo + interval name of 2nd, 3rd, 6th, or 7th is to alter respectively Examples: Neutral Super Eleventh or neut^11 = C neutral 7th chord with a super 11th thrown on top Arto Sub Seventh Tendo Thirteenth or artsub7^13 = Arto tetrad with an arto seventh and a tendo thirteenth on top Minor Seventh Flat Five Arto Ninth Super Eleventh or m7b5^9^11 Alternatively, [[ups and downs notation]] can be used: 0-5-14 = D Fv A = D.vm = "D downminor" 0-6-14 = D F A = Dm = "D minor" 0-7-14 = D F^ A = D~ = "D mid" 0-8-14 = D F# A = D = "D" or "D major" 0-9-14 = D F#^ A = D.^ = "D dot up" or "D upmajor" =Rank two temperaments= [[List of 24et rank two temperaments by badness]] [[List of edo-distinct 24et rank two temperaments]] ||~ Periods per octave ||~ Generator ||~ Name || || 1 || 1\24 || || || 1 || 5\24 || [[Semaphore and Godzilla|Semaphore/godzilla]] / [[Chromatic pairs#Bridgetown|Bridgetown]] || || 1 || 7\24 || [[Mohajira]] (or [[maqamic]] with 24d val) || || 1 || 11\24 || || || 2 || 1\24 || [[Shrutar]] || || 2 || 5\24 || Similar to [[decimal]] || || 3 || 1\24 || [[Semiaug]] || || 3 || 3\24 || [[Triforce]] || || 4 || 1\24 || || || 6 || 1\24 || || || 8 || 1\24 || || || 12 || 1\24 || [[Catler]] || =Scales / Modes= |||| ====Pentatonic:==== || || {{**2 8 3 6 5**}} || Anchihoye: Ethiopia || || {{**5 5 4 5 5**}} || Quasi-equal Pentatonic -

id="toc0"><a name="Basics"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:2 -->Basics</h1> The 24edo system divides the octave into 24 equal parts of exactly 50 cents each. It is also known as <strong>quarter-tone tuning</strong>, since it evenly divides the 12-tone equal tempered semitone in two. Quarter-tones are the most commonly used microtonal tuning due to its retention of the familiar 12 tones and since it is the smallest microtonal equal temperament that contains all the 12 notes, and also because of its use in theory and occasionally in practice in <a class="wiki_link" href="/Arabic%2C%20Turkish%2C%20Persian">Arabic</a> music. It is easy to jump into this tuning and make microtonal music right away using common 12 equal software and even instruments - <a class="wiki_link" href="/DIY%20Quartertone%20Composition%20with%2012%20equal%20tools">see this page</a>.<br /> <br /> <!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:4:<h1> --><h1 id="toc1"><a name="x24edo as a temperament"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:4 -->24edo as a temperament</h1> The <a class="wiki_link" href="/Harmonic%20Limit">5-limit</a> approximations in 24-tone equal temperament are the same as those in 12-tone equal temperament, therefore 24-tone equal temperament offers nothing new as far as approximating the 5-limit is concerned. The 7th harmonic-based intervals (7:4, 7:5 and 7:6) are almost as bad in 24-tET as in 12-tET. To achieve a satisfactory level of approximation while maintaining the 12 notes of 12-tET requires high-degree tunings like 36-tET, 72-tET, 84-tET or 156-tET.<br /> <br /> The tunings supplied by 72 cannot be used for all low-limit just intervals, but they can be used on the 17-limit <a class="wiki_link" href="/k%2AN%20subgroups">3*24 subgroup</a> 2.3.125.35.11.325.17 <a class="wiki_link" href="/just%20intonation%20subgroup">just intonation subgroup</a>, making some of the excellent approximations of 72 available in 24edo. Chords based on this subgroup afford considerable scope for harmony, including in particular intervals and chords using only 2, 3, 11 and 17. Another approach would be to treat 24-EDO as a 2.3.11.17.19 subgroup temperament, on which it is quite accurate.<br /> <br /> <table class="wiki_table"> <tr> <td>Degree<br /> </td> <td>Cents coarse/fine<br /> DMS<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">Approximate Ratios*<br /> </td> <td colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"><a class="wiki_link" href="/Ups%20and%20Downs%20Notation">ups and downs notation</a><br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>0<br /> </td> <td>0<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">1/1<br /> </td> <td>unison<br /> </td> <td>P1<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>1<br /> </td> <td>50, 60<br /> 15°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">33/32, 34/33<br /> </td> <td>up-unison,<br /> downminor 2nd<br /> </td> <td>^P1, vm2<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>2<br /> </td> <td>100, 120<br /> 30°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">17/16, 18/17<br /> </td> <td>aug unison,<br /> minor 2nd<br /> </td> <td>A1, m2<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>3<br /> </td> <td>150, 180<br /> 45°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">12/11<br /> </td> <td>mid 2nd<br /> </td> <td>~2<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>4<br /> </td> <td>200, 240<br /> 60°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">9/8<br /> </td> <td>major 2nd<br /> </td> <td>M2<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>5<br /> </td> <td>250, 300<br /> 75°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">22/19<br /> </td> <td>upmajor 2nd,<br /> downminor 3rd<br /> </td> <td>^M2, vm3<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>6<br /> </td> <td>300, 360<br /> 90°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">19/16<br /> </td> <td>minor 3rd<br /> </td> <td>m3<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>7<br /> </td> <td>350, 420<br /> 105°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">11/9<br /> </td> <td>mid 3rd<br /> </td> <td>~3<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>8<br /> </td> <td>400, 480<br /> 120°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">24/19<br /> </td> <td>major 3rd<br /> </td> <td>M3<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>9<br /> </td> <td>450, 540<br /> 135°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">22/17<br /> </td> <td>upmajor 3rd,<br /> down-fourth<br /> </td> <td>^M3, vP4<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>10<br /> </td> <td>500, 600<br /> 150°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">4/3<br /> </td> <td>fourth<br /> </td> <td>P4<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>11<br /> </td> <td>550, 660<br /> 165°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">11/8<br /> </td> <td>up-fourth<br /> </td> <td>^P4<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>12<br /> </td> <td>600, 720<br /> 180°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">17/12<br /> </td> <td>augmented 4th,<br /> diminished 5th<br /> </td> <td>A4, d5<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>13<br /> </td> <td>650, 780<br /> 195°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">16/11<br /> </td> <td>down-fifth<br /> </td> <td>vP5<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>14<br /> </td> <td>700, 840<br /> 210°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">3/2<br /> </td> <td>fifth<br /> </td> <td>P5<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>15<br /> </td> <td>750, 900<br /> 225°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">17/11<br /> </td> <td>up-fifth,<br /> downminor 6th<br /> </td> <td>^P5, vm6<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>16<br /> </td> <td>800, 960<br /> 240*<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">19/12<br /> </td> <td>minor 6th<br /> </td> <td>m6<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>17<br /> </td> <td>850, 1020<br /> 255°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">18/11<br /> </td> <td>mid 6th<br /> </td> <td>~6<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>18<br /> </td> <td>900, 1080<br /> 270°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">32/19<br /> </td> <td>major 6th<br /> </td> <td>M6<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>19<br /> </td> <td>950, 1140<br /> 285°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">19/11<br /> </td> <td>upmajor 6th,<br /> downminor 7th<br /> </td> <td>^M6, vm7<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>20<br /> </td> <td>1000, 1200<br /> 300°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">16/9<br /> </td> <td>minor 7th<br /> </td> <td>m7<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>21<br /> </td> <td>1050, 1260<br /> 315°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">11/6<br /> </td> <td>mid 7th<br /> </td> <td>~7<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>22<br /> </td> <td>1100, 1320<br /> 330°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">17/9, 32/17<br /> </td> <td>major 7th<br /> </td> <td>M7<br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>23<br /> </td> <td>1150, 1380<br /> 345°<br /> </td> <td style="text-align: center;">33/17, 64/33<br /> </td> <td>upmajor 7th,<br /> down-octave<br /> </td> <td>^M7, vP8<br /> </td> </tr> </table> *based on treating 24-EDO as a 2.3.11.17.19 subgroup; other approaches are possible.<br /> <br /> The 11th harmonic, and intervals derived from it, (11:10, 11:9, 11:8, 11:6, 12:11, 15:11, 16:11, 18:11, 20:11) are very well approximated in 24-tone equal temperament. The 24-tone interval of 550 cents is 1.3 cents flatter than 11:8 and is almost indistinguishable from it. In addition, the interval approximating 11:9 is 7 steps which is exactly half the perfect fifth. Some good chords in 24-tET are (the numbers are degree numbers, e.g. 4 is a major second, 8 is a major third):<br /> <br /> 0-4-8-11-14 ("major" chord with a 9:8 and a 11:8 above the root)<br /> Its inversion, 0-3-6-10-14 ("minor")<br /> 0-7-14 ("neutral")<br /> 0-5-10 (another kind of "neutral", splitting the fourth in two. The 0-5-10 can be extended into a pentatonic scale, 0-5-10-14-19-24 (<a class="wiki_link" href="/godzilla">godzilla</a>), that is close to equi-pentatonic and also close to several Indonesian slêndros. In a similar way 0-7-14 extends to 0-4-7-11-14-18-21-24 (<a class="wiki_link" href="/mohajira">mohajira</a>), a heptatonic scale close to several Arabic scales.)<br /> <br /> <!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:6:<h3> --><h3 id="toc2"><a name="x24edo as a temperament--Commas"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:6 -->Commas</h3> 24 EDO tempers out the following commas.

quarter tone<br /> The prefix <strong>over</strong> indicates a perfect interval raised by a quarter tone<br /> <br /> The Latin words "tendo" (meaning "expand") and "arto" (meaning "contract") can be used to replace the words "supermajor" and "subminor" in order to shorten the names of the intervals.<br /> <br /> <!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:22:<h1> --><h1 id="toc10"><a name="Chord Structures"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:22 -->Chord Structures</h1> 24edo features a rich variety on not only new chords, but also alterations that can be used with regular 12 Edo chords. For example, an approximation of the ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth harmonic can be added to a major triad to create a sort of super-extended chord structure of a major chord: 4:5:6:9:11:13.<br /> <br /> As for entirely new chords, 24edo features many possibilities for chords. The most obvious is the neutral or mid triad 0-7-14 however there are other options such as<br /> 0-9-14 (Ultra Triad or upmajor triad) and 0-5-14 (Infra Triad or downminor triad), the chord names being based on what kind of third is in the chord.<br /> These chords though tend to lack the forcefulness to sound like resolved, tonal sonorities but can be resolved of that issue by using tetrads in place of triads.<br /> For example, the neutral triad can have the neutral 7th added to it to make a full neutral tetrad: 0-7-14-21. However, another option is to replace the neutral third with an 11/8 to produce a sort of 11 limit neutral tetrad. 0-14-21-35 <a class="wiki_link" href="/William%20Lynch">William Lynch</a> considers this chord to be the most consonant tetrad in 24edo involving a neutral tonality. 24 edo also is very good at 15 limit and does 13 quite well allowing barbodos 10:13:15 and barbodos minor triad 26:30:39 to be used as an entirely new harmonic system.<br /> <br /> William Lynch considers these as some possible good tetrads:<br /> <br /> <!-- ws:start:WikiTextLocalImageRule:1631:<img
