Jump to navigation Jump to search

A substitute harmonic[idiosyncratic term] is a more complex harmonic which is used to substitute for a simpler one.

For example, you could substitute the 3rd harmonic out for the 769th harmonic, whose octave reduction is very close to the 3rd harmonic's. By doing this, you could convert a 2.3.5 subgroup temperament into a 2.5.769 subgroup temperament. Or, you could convert a 3.5.7 combination product set into a 5.7.769 combination product set.

You could also substitute a simpler harmonic n in a dual-n temperament for two more complex harmonics, to make a dual-substitute-n temperament[idiosyncratic term]. For example, you could convert a 2.3-.3+.5 subgroup temperament into a 2.5.767.769 subgroup temperament.

Temperaments using substitute harmonics

...with mostly sharp substitutes

Name these after sharp weapons. If they closely resemble another temperament, reference that temperament in the name.

Daggerminished

Same melodic shape as diminished. Uses sharper substitutes for prime 3, 5, 7 and 11.

Narrowed Compton

These temperaments are like compton but with a smaller generator. They reduce the incidence of wolf fifths, and allow the melodic shape of compton to be used in tunings (especially edos that might not otherwise support it.

These temperaments work by replacing the 5th harmonic with a slightly sharper substitute harmonic. These temperaments do not follow the naming conventions of other sharp-substitute temperaments. Instead these should be named using words that end with “com” or “come”.
