IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES

This is an imported revision from Wikispaces. The revision metadata is included below for reference:

This revision was by author jdfreivald and made on 2011-05-31 22:36:59 UTC.
The original revision id was 233352062.
The revision comment was: Added comma list.

The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

The //30 equal division// divides the octave into 30 equal steps of precisely 40 cents each. Its [[patent val]] is a doubled version of the patent val for [[15edo]] through the 11-limit, so 30 can be viewed as a [[contorted]] version of 15. However, 5\30 is 200 cents, which is a good (and familiar) approximation for 9/8, and hence 30 can be viewed inconsistently, as having a 9' at 95\30 as well as a 9 at 96\30.

Instead of the 18\30 fifth of 720 cents, 30 also makes available a 17\30 fifth of 680 cents. This is an ideal tuning for pelogic (5-limit mavila), which tempers out 135/128. When 30 is used for pelogic, 5\30 can again be used inconsistently as a 9/8.

Below is a plot of the Z function around 30:

30 EDO tempers out the following commas. (Note: This assumes the val < 30 48 70 84 104 111 |.)
