19-limit

Revision as of 15:45, 16 December 2021 by Fredg999 (talk | contribs) (Categories)

In 19-limit just intonation, all ratios in the system will contain no primes higher than 19.

The 19-prime-limit can be modeled in a 7-dimensional lattice, with the primes 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and 19 represented by each dimension. The prime 2 does not appear in the typical 19-limit lattice because octave equivalence is presumed. If octave equivalence is not presumed, an eighth dimension is need.

EDOs which provides an excellent tuning for 19-limit intervals are: 80, 94, 111, 121, 217, 270, 282, 311, 320, 364, 388, 400, 422, 436, 460, 525, 581, 597, 624, 643, 653, 692, 718, 742, 771, 860, 867, 882, 908, 925, 935, 954, and 997 among others.
