10edo: Difference between revisions

== Theory ==

10edo can be thought of as two circles of [[5edo|5edo]] separated by 120 cents (or 5 circles of [[2edo|2edo]]). It adds to 5edo a small neutral second (or large minor 2nd) and its inversion a large neutral seventh (or small major 7th); an excellent approximation of [[13/8]] and its inversion [[16/13]]; and the happy 600-cent tritone that appears in every even-numbered edo. Taking the the 360 cent large neutral third as a generator produces a heptatonic [[MOS scales|moment of symmetry scale]] of the form 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 ([[3L 4s|3L 4s - mosh]]). While not an integral or gap edo, it is a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta edo lists|zeta peak edo]]. One way to interpret it in terms of a temperament of just intonation is as a 2.7.13.15 subgroup, such that 105/104, 225/224, and 16807/16384 are tempered out. It can also be treated as a full 13-limit temperament, but it is a closer match to the aforementioned subgroup.
