Millioctave: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The '''millioctave''' ('''mO''') is a logarithmic [[interval size measure]]. which divides the octave (2/1) into 1000 logarithmically equal parts. Its independence from the "classical"/"standard" [[12edo]] tuning, and its similarity to other metric/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units SI] units, have led some microtonalists to prefer it over similar measures such as [[cents]]. However, others note that it naturally favors [[10edo]] and its multiples, just as cents favor 12edo and its multiples.

The '''millioctave''' ('''moct''') is a logarithmic [[interval size measure]]. which divides the octave (2/1) into 1000 logarithmically equal parts. Its independence from the "classical"/"standard" [[12edo]] tuning, and its similarity to other metric/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units SI] units, have led some microtonalists to prefer it over similar measures such as [[cents]]. However, others note that it naturally favors [[10edo]] and its multiples, just as cents favor 12edo and its multiples.

When comparing the approximations of [[just interval]]s between different systems, mO values can be used equally well as [[cent]] values. Also the absolute size of [[comma]]s can be given in millioctave steps.
