60afdo (arithmetic frequency division of the octave), or 60odo (otonal division of the octave), divides the octave into sixty parts of 1/60 each. It is a superset of 59afdo and a subset of 61afdo. Added to 59afdo are many 119/ ratios. As a scale it may be known as mode 60 of the harmonic series or the Over-60 scale.

60afdo is a highly composite afdo, with many ways to form frequency-domain equal subset scales. Due to 60 being 2 x 2 × 3 × 5, this afdo’s associated overtone scale contains many low complexity 5-limit intervals directly above the root, including those with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20 or 30 in the denominator.

Scales

This article or section contains multiple idiosyncratic terms. Such terms are used by only a few people and are not regularly used within the community.

Terms: Most of these names were coined, and are solely used, by Budjarn Lambeth - however he was only the first to name many of these scales, others have probably already used them before him

  • 60:66:72:80:90:99:108:120 Palace (approximated from Porky in 29edo)
