10edt
| ← 9edt | 10edt | 11edt → |
10 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 10edt or 10ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 10 equal parts of about 190 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/10, or the 10th root of 3.
Theory
10edt most notably inherits the 5/4 from 5edt, and introduces some new harmonic elements, such as the 571-cent tritone, which can function as 7/5. We can use this to readily construct chords such as 4:5:7:12, although the 7/4, being 18 cents flat, does considerable damage to the consonance of this chord.
10edt also splits the 5/4 in half, categorizing this tuning as a fringe variety of meantone.
10edt can serve as the generator chain for the pocus temperament, a merge of sensamagic and 2.3.5.7.13 catakleismic, which tempers out 169/168, 225/224, and 245/243 in the 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup.
