Original Wikitext content:
=15 tone equal temperament= 15-edo is a [[7-limit]] tuning because of the amount of septimal intervals, but it does contain [[11-limit]] intervals. from //wikipedia//: ""In music, 15 equal temperament, called 15-TET, 15-EDO, or 15-ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 15 equal steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2 1/15, or 80 [[cent]]s. Because 15 factors into 3 times 5, it can be seen as being made up of three scales of [[5edo|5 equal divisions of the octave]] (or five scales of [[3edo]]). 15-ET matches the [[11_8|11:8]] and [[16_11|16:11]] ratios, and does not match the [[7_5|7:5]] or [[10_7|10:7]] tritone." Additional notes: In the 15-edo system, major thirds cannot be divided perfectly into two, and coupled with the lack of a standard tritone, this tuning at first can be disorienting. However, because the guitar can be tuned symmetrically, from E to e (6th to 1st strings) unlike the 12-tone system on guitars, the learning curve is very manageable. All chords look the same modualted anywhere, and minor arpeggios are vertically stacked, making them very easy to play. 15-tone may be a promising start for anyone interested in superior harmony and xenharmony, a manageable number of tones, and the sonic fingerprint of multiples of 5-edo. .
