List of approaches to musical tuning: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

* [[Just intonation]]: The tuning of pitches so that their fundamental frequencies are related by ratios of whole numbers. An infinite world of numerous models: the [[harmonic series]], integer frequency ratios, [[tonality diamond]]s, [[combination product sets]], [[Fokker blocks]], [[primodality]], etc.

* [[~~Generalized overtone~~ tuning]]: An approach similar to just intonation, but using an instrument's actual, non-harmonic overtone spectrum (e.g. the partials of a metal bar, drum head, or synthesized timbre) to relate frequencies instead of the harmonic series.

* [[Timbral tuning]]: An approach similar to just intonation, but using an instrument's actual, non-harmonic overtone spectrum (e.g. the partials of a metal bar, drum head, or synthesized timbre) to relate frequencies instead of the harmonic series.

* [[Equal-step tuning]]s: Tunings that use a single interval (and combinations thereof) to form a subtle monoculture of intervals. These include [[edo]]s (equal divisions of the octave), but also many [[nonoctave]] tunings (sometimes called [[edonoi]]).

* [[Historical temperaments|Historical western temperaments]]: The (somewhat forgotten) use of [[Pythagorean]] and [[meantone]] tunings and [[well temperament]]s in Western common practice music.
