15 equal temperament

15 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 15edo or 15ed2), also called 15-tone equal temperament (15tet) or 15 equal temperament (15et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 15 equal parts of exactly 80 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/15, or the 15th root of 2.

Theory

15edo can be thought of as three sets of 5edo which do not connect by fifths. The fifth at 720 cents is quite wide yet still usable as a perfect fifth. Some would describe the fifth as more shimmery and pungent than anything closer to a just 3/2. The perfect fifth of 15edo returns to the octave if stacked five times, meaning the Pythagorean limma is tempered out, which is radically different than a meantone system. This has a variety of ramifications for chord progressions based on functional harmony, because with a closed circle of five notes, the same interval can have multiple functions. Additionally, 15 being equal to 3 × 5 also implies that 15edo contains five sets of 3edo.

15edo can be seen as a 7-limit temperament because of its ability to approximate some septimal intervals, but it also contains some fairly obvious approximations to 11-limit intervals, so it can reasonably be described as an 11-limit temperament, and is generally considered to be the first EDO to work as an 11-limit system; however, due to its rather distant approximation of the 3rd harmonic (and therefore the 9th harmonic as well), those seeking to approximate JI with 15edo would be best advised to avoid chords requiring those harmonics (or to at least treat them with sensitivity, for instance, only using 9/8 when it is being made up of two 3/2s to make its identity clear). 15edo is also notable for being the smallest edo with recognizable, distinct representations of 5-odd limit intervals (3/2, 5/4, 6/5, and their octave inverses) that has a positive syntonic comma.

In the 15edo system, major thirds cannot be divided perfectly into two, while minor 3rds, 4ths, wide tritones, subminor 7ths, and supermajor 7ths can. Similarly, 4ths, 5ths, and subminor 7ths can all be divided into 3 equal parts, while minor 3rds, tritones, and major 6ths cannot. This gives 15edo a whole new set of pitch symmetries and modes of limited transposition. Coupled with the lack of a diatonic scale and of a standard tritone, this tuning can be disorienting at first. Nonetheless, 15edo is notable for being the next-smallest EDO after 12edo that contains recognizable major and minor triads (unless the 14edo supermajor triad is considered as a "recognizable major triad"), a property noted in the works of theorists like Ivor Darreg and Easley Blackwood. In addition, 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 modulated anywhere, and minor arpeggios are vertically stacked, making them very easy to play. 15-tone may be a promising start for anyone interested in xenharmony, due to its manageable number of tones and for containing the relatively popular 5edo.

Intervals

See also: 15edo-interval names

Relative to 12edo, 15edo maintains some categorically-similar intervals, particularly the 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, and 6ths, but is quite different in the categories of 2nds and 7ths. The closest intervals it has to a 12edo whole tone are both 40 cents sharp or flat of the 200-cent 12edo whole tone. This makes it rather difficult to translate traditional diatonic melodic approaches into 15edo, and also means that things like 7th, 9th, and 11th chords will behave very differently, even though major and minor triads are still relatively familiar-sounding. One step of 15edo almost exactly equals the reduced 67th harmonic, 67/64.

All 15edo chords can be named using ups and downs. Because many intervals have several names, many chords do too. Alterations are always enclosed in parentheses, additions never are. An up or down immediately after the chord root affects the 3rd, 6th, 7th, and/or the 11th (every other note of a stacked-3rds chord 6-1-3-5-7-9-11-13).

0-3-9 = D E A = D2 = "D sus 2", or D F A = Dm = "D minor" (approximate 6:7:9)

0-4-9 = D ^F A = D^m = "D upminor" (approximate 10:12:15)

0-5-9 = D vF# A = Dv = "D down" or "D downmajor" (approximate 4:5:6)

0-6-9 = D G A = D4, or D F# A = D = "D" or "D major" (approximate 14:18:21)

0-3-9-12 = D F A C = Dm7 = "D minor seven", or D F A B = Dm6 = "D minor six"

0-4-9-12 = D ^F A C = D^m,7 = "D upminor, add seven", or D ^F A B = D^m,6 = "D upminor add-six"

0-5-9-12 = D vF# A C = Dv,7 = "D down add-seven", or D vF# A B = Dv,6 = "D down add-six"

0-6-9-12 = D F# A C = D7 = "D seven", or D F# A B = D6 = "D six"

0-5-9-14 = D vF# A vC# = DvM7 = "D downmajor seven"

Approximation to JI

Selected 13-limit intervals

15edo offers some minor improvements over 12et in ratios of 5 (particularly in 6/5 and 5/3), and has a much better approximation to the 7th and 11th harmonics, but its approximation to the 3rd harmonic is rather off. However, the particular way in which this approximation is off is as much a feature as it is a bug, for it allows the construction of a 5L 5s MOS scale wherein every note of the scale can serve as a root for a 7-limit otonal or utonal tetrad, as well as either a 5-limit major or minor 7th chord. This is known as the blackwood temperament, named after Easley Blackwood Jr., who is the first to document its existence. It has also been written on extensively by Igliashon Jones in the paper Five is Not an Odd Number. For an in-depth treatment of harmony in 15edo based on this temperament (and its 7- and 11-limit extensions), see Blacksmith temperament modal harmony (in 15edo).

Notation

There are a variety of other ways to notate 15edo, and the choice of notation depends heavily on which rank-2 temperament or MOS scale one wishes to treat as being the "main focus" of 15edo composition.

Blackwood Notation (Pentatonic)

For note names, Kite Giedraitis proposes a possible alternative to heptatonic names, pentatonic names that omit B and merge E and F into a new letter, "eef" (it rhymes with leaf). Eef, like E, is a 5th above A. Eef, like F, is a 4th above C. The circle of 5ths is C G D A Eef C. Eef is written like an E, but with the bottom horizontal line going not right but left from the vertical line. Eef can be typed as ꘙ (unicode A619) or ⊧ (unicode 22A7) or 𐐆 (unicode 10406).


C	^C	vD	D	^D	vꘙ	ꘙ	^ꘙ	vG	G	^G	vA	A	^A	vC	C
P1	^1	v2	P2	^2	v3	P3	^3	v4	P4	^4	v5	P5	^5	v6	P6

Blackwood Notation (Decatonic)

Decimal Version: Using the nominals 1-0 (with 0 representing "10"), one of the three chains of 5edo is represented by the odd numbers, the second by the even numbers, and the third by numbers with accidentals (either odd numbers with sharps, or even numbers with flats).
Guitar Version: On a 15edo guitar, because the "perfect fourth" comes from 5edo, all of the open strings can be tuned a perfect fourth apart and still span exactly two octaves. If one starts the circle of fourths on B — B-E-A-D-G-(B) — then the open strings of the guitar can be notated as usual (E-A-D-G-B-E). However, because the circle of fourths closes at five, and does not continue to circulate through the other 10 notes of 15edo, it is necessary to use accidentals to notate intervals on the other two chains of 5edo. This notation is not particularly ideal as a basis for a staff notation (as it requires all non-5edo chords to be notated with accidentals). It is nevertheless useful because it reflects an intuitive approach to 15edo on the guitar, since 5edo provides a useful set of 3-limit landmarks (or "perfect fourths" and "perfect fifths") that can be used to navigate the fretboard. It's especially convenient for writing chord charts, where the funky accidental-laden spellings can be more or less ignored.

Porcupine Notation (Heptatonic)

Porcupine notation can be based on the Porcupine[7] Lssssss scale. By representing the 3|3 mode (sssLsss) with a chain of fifths (D E F G A B C D) and using sharps and flats (#/b) to denote a step up or down respectively, 15edo can be notated using standard notation. Its intervals can likewise be named with respect to diatonic intervals.

Cents	Interval Name(s)	Note name(s)
0	Unison	D
80	Augmented Unison / Minor Second	D# / Eb
160	Major Second	E
240	Augmented Second / Diminished Third	E# / Fb
320	Minor Third	F
400	Major Third / Diminished Fourth	F# / Gb
480	Perfect Fourth	G
560	Augmented Fourth	G#
640	Diminished Fifth	Ab
720	Perfect Fifth	A
800	Augmented Fifth / Minor Sixth	A# / Bb
880	Major Sixth	B
960	Augmented Sixth / Diminished Seventh	B# / Cb
1040	Minor Seventh	C
1120	Major Seventh / Diminished Octave	C# / Db
1200	Octave	D

One neat thing about using this notation system is that its notated major scale, D E F# G A B C# D, directly corresponds to 15edo’s LH Nice-Ionian scale.

Porcupine Notation (Octatonic)

Porcupine notation can also be based on the Porcupine[8] LLLLLLLs scale using eight nominals: α β χ δ ε φ γ η. Others have proposed ABCDEFGHA, but conflicts with European notation have caused many to reject this approach. Thus, Greek letters can be used in their place with a close resemblance to the spelling of ABCDEFGHA. The letters are not in greek alphabetic order.

The eight nominals form the base diatonic scale. In this sense, the "quill" is the name given to the two-edostep interval (160¢) of 15edo while the "small quill" (80¢) is the chroma of 15edo. This produces a very consistent notation for both Porcupine[8] and Blackwood[10], moreso than putting 15edo into a 5L 2s framework. See the main porcupine notation page.

Cents	Interval Name	Note names
0	Zeroquill	α - α
80	Small Quill / Half Quill	α - β\
160	Quill	α - β
240	Small Diquill	α - χ\
320	Large Diquill	α - χ
400	Small Triquill	α - δ\
480	Large Triquill	α - δ

960	Large Sixquill	α - γ
1040	Small Sevenquill	α - η\
1120	Large Sevenquill	α - η
1200	Octoquill	α - α

A regular keyboard can be designed using this system by placing 7 black keys as Porcupine[7] and 8 whites as Porcupine[8]. In fact, Stephen Weigel has already done this with his pink Halberstadt keyboard.
