101afdo

The Dalmatian scale (also known as mode 101 of the harmonic series, or 101AFDO) is a large primodal scale which is excellent for use as a NEJI tuning.

Optimal NEJI approximations

The Dalmatian scale approximates four EDOs, including two Zeta peak EDOs, with lower maximum error than any smaller mode of the harmonic series:

• 19EDO (101:105:109:113:117:121:126:130:135:140:145:151:156:162:168:175:181:188:195:202)
• 24EDO (101:104:107:110:113:117:120:124:127:131:135:139:143:147:151:156:160:165:170:175:180:185:191:196:202)
• 25EDO (101:104:107:110:113:116:119:123:126:130:133:137:141:145:149:153:157:162:166:171:176:181:186:191:196:202)
• 27EDO (101:104:106:109:112:115:118:121:124:127:131:134:137:141:145:148:152:156:160:164:169:173:178:182:187:192:197:202)

Even more impressively, the Dalmatian scale approximates seven EDOs, including three Zeta peak EDOs, with lower average error than any smaller mode of the harmonic series:

• 5EDO (101:116:133:153:176:202)
• 12EDO (101:107:113:120:127:135:143:151:160:170:180:191:202)
• 14EDO (101:106:112:117:123:129:136:143:150:158:166:174:183:192:202)
• 22EDO (101:104:108:111:115:118:122:126:130:134:138:143:147:152:157:162:167:173:178:184:190:196:202)

• 24EDO (101:104:107:110:113:117:120:124:127:131:135:139:143:147:151:156:160:165:170:175:180:185:191:196:202)
• 25EDO (101:104:107:110:113:116:119:123:126:130:133:137:141:145:149:153:157:162:166:171:176:181:186:191:196:202)
• 34EDO (101:103:105:107:110:112:114:116:119:121:124:126:129:132:134:137:140:143:146:149:152:155:158:161:165:168:172:175:179:182:186:190:194:198:202)
