All your life, you have been told that there are only twelve colors, that any shade between two of the colors is just an out-of-tune version of one of the 'real' colors... ===Equal divisions burst=== [[image:et_burst.png align="center"]] This is a polar graph of the values of all the fractions between 0 and 1 with numerator less than 32. The top represents both 0 and 1 (modulo 1); the fractions' values sweep clockwise; the closer to the center, the smaller the numerator. This graph accompanies the chart [[edo anatomy|Anatomy of an Equally Divided Octave]]. //Currently 26-divisions is excluded//! ===JI, temperament Lattices=== Tonalsoft's Tonescape makes it possible to compose with scales that are represented by two- or three-dimensional lattices. Tempering a comma out of a lattice turns it into a closed structure...
