Special properties

31 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 31edo or 31ed2), also called 31-tone equal temperament (31tet) or 31 equal temperament (31et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 31 equal parts of about 38.7 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/31, or the 31st root of 2.

31edo is also referred to as the tricesimoprimal meantone temperament. The term tricesimoprimal was first used by Adriaan Fokker.

Theory

31edo's perfect fifth is flat of the just interval 3/2 (over five cents), as befits a tuning supporting meantone, but the major third is less than a cent sharp of just 5/4, making it slightly sharp of quarter-comma meantone. 31's approximation of 7/4, a cent flat, is also very close to just. It is a very tone-efficient melodic approximation of the 11-limit (and specifically the 11-odd-limit), although it conflates 9/7 with 14/11 and 11/8 with 15/11. Many 7-limit JI scales are well-approximated in 31 (with tempering, of course). It also maps all 15-odd-limit intervals consistently, with the sole exceptions of 13/9, 13/11, 18/13, and 22/13.

Because of the near-just 5/4 and 7/4 and because the 11th harmonic is almost twice as flat as the 3rd harmonic, 31edo is relatively quite accurate and is the 6th zeta integral edo, the 7th zeta gap edo, a zeta peak edo, and a zeta peak integer edo, meaning it is a strict zeta edo. Other ways in which 31edo is especially accurate is that it represents a record in Pepper ambiguity in the 7-, 9-, and 11-odd-limit, which it is consistent through, and that it is the first non-trivial edo to be consistent in the 11-odd-prime-sum-limit.

One step of 31edo, measuring about 38.7¢, is called a diesis because it stands in for several intervals called "dieses" (most notably, 128/125 and 648/625) which are tempered out in 12edo. The diesis is a defining sound of 31edo; when it does not appear directly in a scale, it often shows up as the difference between two or more intervals of a similar size. The diesis is demonstrated in SpiralProgressions. Zhea Erose's 31edo music uses the interval frequently.

31edo is close to a circle made by stacking 31 pure 17/13 subfourths. A circle of 31 pure 17/13's closes with an error of only 2.74 cents (relative error 7.1%). Remarkably, 31edo tempers out 83521/83486, the 0.7-cent difference between a stack of four 17/13's and a stack of one 19/13 and one 2/1, giving 31edo's oneirotonic (5L 3s) mos accurate 13:17:19 chords.

Interval quality and chord names in color notation

Combining ups and downs notation with color notation, qualities can be loosely associated with colors:

Quality Color name Monzo Format Examples
downminor zo [a b 0 1⟩ 7/6, 7/4
minor fourthward wa [a b⟩ where b < −1 32/27, 16/9
gu [a b -1⟩ 6/5, 9/5
mid ilo [a b 0 0 1⟩ 11/9, 11/6
lu [a b 0 0 -1⟩ 12/11, 18/11
major yo [a b 1⟩ 5/4, 5/3
fifthward wa [a b⟩ where b > 1 9/8, 27/16
upmajor ru [a b 0 -1⟩ 9/7, 12/7

All 31edo chords can be named using ups and downs. Alterations are always enclosed in parentheses, additions never are. An up, down or mid 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). Here are the zo, gu, ilo, yo and ru triads:

Neutral circle-of-fifths notation

Neutral circle-of-fifths notation is much like ups and downs notation. Between C and D (do and re) for example, we have the following notes:

Degree Letter Name English full name
0 C do C
1 C HeQu1.svg do  HeQu1.svg C half-sharp
2 C♯ do ♯ C sharp
3 D♭ re ♭ D flat
4 D HeQd1.svg re  HeQd1.svg D half-flat
5 D re D

Circle-of-fifths notation

Circle-of-fifths notation uses double sharps and double flats:

Degree Letter Name English full name
0 C do C
1 D𝄫 re 𝄫 D double flat
2 C♯ do ♯ C sharp
3 D♭ re ♭ D flat
4 C𝄪 do 𝄪 C double sharp
5 D re D

While using double sharp and double flat may seem confusing because it alternates between C and D, it provides a way of writing chords that is consistent with traditional notation. For example, the subminor7 chord 12:14:18:21 is written like so:

  • C / D♯ / G / A♯
  • C♯ / D𝄪 / G♯ / A𝄪
  • D♭ / E / A♭ / B
  • D / E♯ / A / B♯

In 12edo, the enharmonic equivalences include C♯ = D♭, E♯ = F, and E = F♭. But in 31edo we have:

  • C𝄪 = D HeQd1.svg
  • D𝄫 = C HeQu1.svg
  • E♯ = F HeQd1.svg
  • F♭ = E HeQu1.svg
  • E𝄪 = F HeQu1.svg
  • F𝄫 = E HeQd1.svg

Sagittal notation

Relationship to 12-edo

Whereas 12-edo has a circle of twelve 5ths, 31-edo has a spiral of twelve 5ths (since 18\31 is on the 7\12 kite in the scale tree). This spiral of 5th shows 31-edo in a 12-edo-friendly format. Excellent for introducing 31-edo to musicians unfamiliar with microtonal music. The two innermost and two outermost intervals on the spiral are duplicates.

31-edo spiral.png

31edo can be notated with a seperate semi/sesqui sharp/flat chain (like 17edo), with its own enharmonic circle of fifths.

Scales

MOS scales

Main article: 31edo MOS scales

The fact that 31edo has meantone diatonic and chromatic scales is well-known, but some other MOSes and MOS chains [clarification needed ] are also useful:

  • 9\31, the neutral third, generates ultrasoft mosh and superhard dicotonic MOSes.
  • 11\31, the supermajor third or diminished fourth, generates a parahard sensoid scale with resolution from neutral thirds, sixths, and sevenths to perfect fourths, fifths, and octaves, and a semihard 3L 8s scale with a jagged-but-chromatic feel.
  • 12\31 generator generates a semihard oneirotonic scale, similar to the 5L 3s scale in 13edo but with the 9/8, 5/4 and 7/6 better in tune and with the flat fifth close to 19/13.
  • A chain of 5\31 whole tones is exceptionally rich in 4:5:7 chords, which are approximated very well in 31edo.
  • If you're fond of orwell tetrads (which are also found in 31edo's oneirotonic), you will like the 7\31 (271.0¢) subminor third generator. The ultrasoft 9-tone orwelloid (4L 5s) MOS could be treated as a 9-tone well temperament.
  • It has close approximations to 6edf (→ miracle) and 9edf (→ Carlos Alpha), fifth-equivalent equal divisions that hit many good JI approximations.

See #Rank-2 temperaments for a table of MOSes and their temperament interpretations.

Harmonic scales

31edo approximates Mode 8 of the harmonic series okay, but many intervals between the harmonics aren't distinguished, most importantly 9/8 (major tone) and 10/9 (minor tone), as 31EDO is a meantone temperament. The interval between the 8th and 11th harmonics is approximated okay, but the intervals between the 11th harmonic and closer harmonics such as the 12th and 9th harmonics are approximated even better. 31's version of 13/8 is quite wide and only vaguely suggests the 13-limit.

The steps are: 5 5 4 4 4 3 3 3.

In mode 16, the most closely-matched harmonics are the composite ones, 21 and 25. Of the other harmonics:

  • 17 is sharp, like 13. In fact, the 17:13 ratio is matched within a tenth of a cent.
  • 19 is also sharp, like 13 and 17. The 19:17 ratio is about one cent sharp. 31edo could be considered a tuning of the 2.5.7.13.17.19 subgroup, on which it is consistent (see mercy temperament).
  • 23 is about as flat as 11. The chromatic semitone is about half a cent off from 23:22. 31edo could be considered a tuning of the 2.3.5.7.11.23 subgroup, on which it is consistent.
  • 27 is quite flat, as it's 3^3 and the error from the meantone fifths accumulates.
  • 29 and 31 are both very sharp, and intervals involving them are unlikely to play any major role.

31et is lower in relative error than any previous equal temperaments in the 7-, 11-, 13-, and 17-limit. The next equal temperaments doing better in those subgroups are 72, 72, 41, and 46, respectively.

31edo excels in the 2.5.7 subgroup (the JI chord 4:5:7 is represented highly consistently: to distance 10.36). In 2.5.7 it tempers out the didacus comma 3136/3125 and the quince comma 823543/819200, thus also tempering out the very small rainy comma, the simplest 2.5.7 comma tempered out by the 7-limit microtemperament 171edo. In the 11-limit, 31edo can be defined as the unique temperament that tempers out 81/80, 99/98, 121/120, and 126/125, and it supports orwell, mohajira, and the relatively high-accuracy temperament miracle. In the 13-limit 31edo doesn't do as well, but is the optimal patent val for the rank five temperament tempering out the 13-limit comma 66/65, which equates 6/5 and 13/11. It also provides the optimal patent val for mohajira, squares and casablanca in the 11-limit and huygens/meantone, squares, winston, lupercalia and nightengale in the 13-limit. In the 17-limit it tempers out 120/119, equating the otonal tetrad of 4:5:6:7 and the inversion of the 10:12:15:17 minor tetrad.
