Title2

Octave stretch or compression

What follows is a comparison of stretched- and compressed-octave 22edo tunings.

ZPINAME
  • Step size: NNN ¢, octave size: NNN ¢

_ing the octave of EDONAME by around NNN ¢ results in improved primes NNN, but worse primes NNN. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. The tuning ZPINAME does this.

EDONOI
  • Step size: NNN ¢, octave size: NNN ¢

_ing the octave of EDONAME by around NNN ¢ results in improved primes NNN, but worse primes NNN. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. The tuning EDONOI does this.

22edo
  • Step size: 54.545 ¢, octave size: 1200.0 ¢

Pure-octaves 22edo approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. The optimal 13-limit WE tuning has octaves only 0.01 ¢ different from pure-octaves 22edo, and the 13-limit TE tuning has octaves only 0.08 ¢ different, so by those metrics pure-octaves 22edo might be considered already optimal.

22et, 11-limit WE tuning
  • Step size: 54.494 ¢, octave size: NNN ¢

Compressing the octave of 22edo by around half a cent results in improved primes NNN, but worse primes NNN. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. Its 11-limit WE tuning and 11-limit TE tuning both do this.

80zpi
  • Step size: 54.483 ¢, octave size: NNN ¢

Compressing the octave of 22edo by around NNN ¢ results in improved primes NNN, but worse primes NNN. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN ¢. The tuning 80zpi does this.
