hi hi hi hello i like xen
ex fl studio user now i like reaper
i think chosing a tuning is as important as any other aspect of music like sound design or arrangement and stuff (i am very much a sound design person i like doing things in synths for hours)
i like edos since my music is usually very harmonically agile (for the better or for the worst) so i like having similar sounds across different keys. maybe i should try well temperaments
i like reading about theory even though i probably don't use 90% of what i read
i really like mos scales, this is part of the 10% that i actively use in xen composition
my soundcloud has some xen stuff https://soundcloud.com/user-93218934 although i am planning to upload things to youtube instead when i get back to making music (i will be doing other things for a while and i will only open a daw or musescore for school assignments for now)
contact me on discord @dogwithabome
random thoughts mostly for me to store and read later:
easy way to find the step sizes of mos scales in edos
- in 29 edo if i want a mos generated by 13/10, which is 11/29 or 18/29
we have 1L 1s
from there you can do the child mos operation repeatedly which is pretty easy since it's just substractions
L - s = c
18 - 11 = 7
11 - 7 = 4
7 - 4 = 3
4 - 3 = 1
3 - 1 = 2
2 - 1 = 1
1 - 1 = 0
from there you can also find the mos scale signature itself by looking at the hardness
(if the ratio is soft-of-basic the child of xLys will be (x+y)Lxs and if it's hard of basic the child will be (x)L(x+y)s)
1L1s 18:11 is soft so the child is 2L1s
2L1s 11:7 (soft)
3L2s 7:4 (soft)
5L3s 4:3 (soft)
8L5s 3:1 (hard)
8L13s 2:1 basic and the next mos is equalized

edos and what i think of them
1-4 : won't say anything
5 : i like using this one for sound design purposes but i haven't done much in this system other than that
6 : my first composition ever used this scale, it was very bad but it holds a special place in my heart
7 : i like this one. very pleasant sound. it's at the intersection of many interesting things
8 : haven't looked at this one too much
9 : fun one. first edo that feels like it can move and stuff
10 : this one sounds evil tried it once and never touched it again
11 : interesting system. the few times i've used it were fun. it's easy to retune a digital piano to this system.
12 : shhhhhhhhh
13 : haven't tried this one much
14 : i love this one it's super cool. never went wrong while using this.
15 : not a fan
16 : good system with probably alot to offer but i haven't explored it enough
17 : very awesome system. the neutral steps are beautifu
18 : feels alot like 12 but it's a very pleasant system to use
19 : don't really like this one
20 : haven't tried
