Hello! My name is Eliseo and I am a microtonal enthusiast, obviously :)

I was first made aware of microtonal/xenharmonic music by SupahstarSaga's series on 19-EDO. I am so glad to have discord the world of xenharmony as it allows for more compositional possibilities than I would have otherwise imagined.

EDOs that interest me the most

• 7-EDO: The first EDO where MOS scales make any applicable sense. As it tempers out both 45/44 and 55/54 (and thus 25/24), 0–2–4 can function as a 10:12:15 minor chord, an 18:22:27 neutral chord, or a 4:5:6 major chord. Notation is very simple as you just label the notes from A to G. No sharps or flats are needed. A great EDO for beginners to try.
• 10-EDO: Just like 7-EDO, 10-EDO tempers out the intervals mentioned above, conflating minor, neutral, and major chords. 3\10 can be used as generator to create Mosh. This is extremely efficient for generating neutral 7th chords. Mosh has a total of five neutral triads and four neutral tetrads. The sLsLsLs mode sounds similar to the Double Harmonic Major scale and can sound both familiar and xen, as the major and minor chords are tempered out with each other to sound as neutral chords. Another great EDO for beginners to try.
• 19-EDO: If you're looking for a tuning system where you can play all of your favourite songs where the thirds and sixths be more in tune, whilst also having a greater palette of intervals to use, then 19-EDO is perfect for you. The 7 modes of the Ionian major scale are present here, by stacking the closest approximation of the perfect fifth. Because of this, most of the music theory on harmony works the same way as in 12-EDO, with some exceptions, such as three stacked major thirds being smaller than an octave, or four stacked minor thirds being larger than an octave. Notation is virtually the same as in 12-EDO, and no new symbols are need to notate all the notes. 19-EDO, being prime, means you can stack any of its intervals between the unison and the octave and reach all of the notes. Examples of scales that can be created this way are Godzilla and Negri. The former stacks semifourths and contains six subminor triads, six supermajor triads, six subminor tetrads, and four supermajor tetrads! The latter is a superset of the Double Harmonic Major scale, as it has two more notes which are in between the augmented seconds of the Double Harmonic Major scale. 19-EDO is great for anyone who wants improved 5-limit or 7-limit harmony from 12-EDO, and for these reasons, along with many more, 19-EDO is my favourite tuning system and very good to try, if you're looking to explore music with new flavours. I highly recommend SupahstarSaga's series on this tuning to get familiar with 19-EDO.
