43 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 43edo or 43ed2), also called 43-tone equal temperament (43tet) or 43 equal temperament (43et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 43 equal parts of about 27.9 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/43, or the 43rd root of 2.

History

The French Baroque acoustician Joseph Sauveur, who was ironically hearing and speech impaired, based his tuning system on 43 equal tones to the octave, calling one step a méride. Sauveur favoured 43-tone equal temperament because the small intervals are well represented in it.[1]

The composer Juhan Puhm uses 43edo in some of his fortepiano suites and prefers it to 31edo.

Theory

43edo tempers out 81/80 in the 5-limit, and as such it is strongly associated with meantone. Specifically, it is (for all practical purposes) equivalent to 1/5-comma meantone, as it tunes the major third sharp of 5/4 and perfect fifth flat of 3/2 by slightly more than four cents on both of them. It also tempers out the hypovishnuzma and the escapade comma, so that six chromatic semitones make a perfect fourth and eight minor seconds make a major sixth.

Except for 9/7, 11/9, 14/9, and 18/11, all 15-odd-limit intervals have consistent approximations in 43edo, making it an excellent tuning in the 7-, 11-, and 13-limit. In the 7-limit, it supports septimal meantone, as it tempers out 126/125, 225/224, and 3136/3125. The version of 11-limit meantone is the one tempering out 99/98, 176/175, and 441/440, sometimes called Huygens. In the 13-limit it supports meridetone, which tempers out 78/77, and grosstone, which tempers out 144/143. Meridetone has generator map 0 1 4 10 18 27], for which 43 supplies the optimal patent val for, and grosstone 0 1 4 10 18 -16].

43edo's patent val 43 68 100 121 149 159] maps 5 to 100 steps, allowing the divison of 5 into 20 equal parts, leading to the jerome temperament, an interesting higher-limit system for which 43 supplies the optimal patent val in the 7-, 11-, 13-, 17-, 19-, and even 23-limit. It also provides the optimal patent val for the 11- and 13-limit amavil temperament, which is not meantone. Thuja is also a possibility, whose 11-limit extension makes five 11/8s stack to a major third (i.e. (11/8)5 → 5/1), with moses of 15 and 28.

Although not consistent, 43edo performs quite well in very high prime limits. It has unambiguous mappings for all prime harmonics up to 113, with the sole exceptions of 23, 71, 89, and 103, making a great Ringer scale. Mappings for ratios between these prime harmonics can then be derived from those for the primes themselves, allowing for a complete set of approximations to the first 16 harmonics in the harmonic series and an almost-complete approximation of the first 32 harmonics, although the limited consistency will give some unusual results. Indeed, one step of 43edo is very close to the septimal comma (64/63); similarly, two steps is close to 32/31, and four steps tunes 16/15 almost perfectly.

43edo has less than 35% relative error (less than 10 cents error) on an impressive 17 of the 19 prime harmonics in the 67-limit. The only ones it misses are 23 and 41. So it can be used as a solid full 19-limit tuning, or as a solid no-23-or-41 67-limit tuning.

It approximates harmonics 31, 37 and 61 close to exactly - within less than a cent (less than 3% relative error). It approximates 3, 13, 43, 53 and 61 slightly flat. It approximates 5, 7, 11, 17, 19, 29, 47, 59 and 67 slightly sharp. Overall this gives 43edo a slightly sharp tendency/feeling, though with the major exception of harmonic 3 (the perfect fifth).

Divisors

43edo is the 14th prime edo, following 41edo and coming before 47edo.

Intervals

The distance from C to C♯ is 3 edosteps (or keys, frets). Thus one edostep equals one third of a sharp.

Notation

Red-Blue Notation

Because 43edo is a meantone system, this makes it easier to adapt traditional Western notation to it than to some other tunings. A♯ and B♭ are distinct and the distance between them is one meride. The whole tone is divided into seven merides so this means we can use "third-sharps", "two-thirds-sharps", "third-flats", and "two-thirds-flats" to reach the remaining notes between A and B; notes elsewhere on the scale can be notated similarly.

For people who aren't colorblind, a red-note/blue-note system (similar to that proposed for 36edo) can be used. (Note that this is different than Kite's color notation.) Now we have the following sequence of notes, each separated by one meride:  A ,  A ,  A♯ ,  A♯ ,  B♭ ,  B♭ ,  B ,  B . (Note that red sharps or blue flats are enharmonically equivalent to simpler notes:  A♯  is enharmonic to B♭, and  B♭  is actually just A♯).

The diatonic semitone is four steps, so for the region between B and C, we can use:  B ,  C♭ ,  B♯  /  C♭  (they are enharmonic equivalents),  B♯ , and  C . All of the notes in 43edo therefore have unambiguous names except for  B♯  /  C♭ , and  E♯  /  F♭ . It might also be possible to design special symbols for those two notes (resembling a cross between the letters B and C in the former case, and E and F in the latter).

If  C♭  and  B♯  (and  F♭  /  E♯ ) are instead forced to be distinct, but the requirement that all notes be equally spaced is maintained, then we end up with a completely unambiguous red-note/blue-note notation for 45edo, which is another meantone (actually, a flattone) system.

Ups and downs notation

The third-sharps and third-flats can also be notated using ups and downs notation and extended Helmholtz–Ellis accidentals:

The notes between A and B can then be notated as A, AHeji19.svg, AHeji24.svg, A♯, B♭, BHeji12.svg, BHeji17.svg, B. Note that A♯ is enharmonic to BHeji10.svg, and B♭ is enharmonic to AHeji26.svg.

The notes from B to C are B, C♭, BHeji24.svg / CHeji12.svg, B♯, and C. Similarily, the notes from E to F are E, F♭, EHeji24.svg / FHeji12.svg, E♯, and F. As with the red/blue note system described above, all notes in 43edo therefore have unambiguous names except for BHeji24.svg / CHeji12.svg and EHeji24.svg / FHeji12.svg.

Double or even triple arrows may arise if the arrows are taken to have their own layer of enharmonic spellings.

Detemperaments

Ringer 43

The metaphorical color palette that the intervals of 43edo present can be quite appealing for various reasons such as being meantone and splitting 4/3 into 6 equal parts and 3/2 into 5 equal parts, but the accuracy leaves one wanting in many cases, which is why an excellent alternative (given the unambiguity of mappings of all primes in the 109-limit except 71 and 89) is Ringer 43, a Ringer scale with 43 notes per octave period:

55:56:57:58:59:60:61:62:63:64:65:66:67:68:69:70:72:73:74:75:76:78:79:80:82:83:84:86:87:88:90:91:92:94:96:97:98:100:102:104:106:108:109:110

Or equivalently in the form of reduced, rooted intervals:

65/64, 33/32, 67/64, 17/16, 69/64, 35/32, 9/8, 73/64, 37/32, 75/64, 19/16, 39/32, 79/64, 5/4, 41/32, 83/64, 21/16, 43/32, 87/64, 11/8, 45/32, 91/64, 23/16, 47/32, 3/2, 97/64, 49/32, 25/16, 51/64, 13/8, 53/32, 27/16, 109/64, 55/32, 7/4, 57/32, 29/16, 59/32, 15/8, 61/32, 31/16, 63/32, 2/1
