News 2021-10: some interval sounds of the (G1) golden timbre
Line 103: Line 103:


A late thought: oh of course that would be too rarified: s > 2! (Not a factorial.) I probably was wise to pick √2 when I mused about these things the first time, but that was too long ago, I forgot half the metadata. So I think a proper (S2) timbre is coming soon, but first I sleep.

=== Simple intervals played with (G1) ===
Here are about a dozen samples added to [https://freesound.org/people/arseniiv/packs/33199/ the same pack at Freesound] as the others above. Intervals played are 2:1, 3:2, 4:3, 5:3, 5:4, 6:5, 7:4, 7:5, 7:6, 8:7 and the “timbral equivalents” of those for (G1). The first eight partials of (G1) are
<pre>1:  1      1      1.00000
2:  φ      φ      1.61803
3:  φ+1    φ²      2.61803
4:  φ+2    φ²+1    3.61803
5:  2φ+1    φ³      4.23607
6:  2φ+2    φ³+1    5.23607
7:  3φ+1    φ³+φ    5.85410
8:  3φ+2    φ⁴      6.85410</pre>
and here I call 4x:3x an interval between 4th and 3rd partials, (φ+2):(φ+1) ≈ 1.38197, and like that for all others. Note this convention conflates many JI intervals into the same one, like 2x:1x = 3x:2x = 5x:3x = 7x:4x = φ.
