16edo scales and temperaments

16edo contains several MOS patterns, with RTT interpretations.

Slendric

In 16edo slendric, the generator is 3\16, an arto third or supermajor second 8/7. Three generators make a 3/2, represented by 16edo's flat fifth 9\16, and in 16edo, two generators make 13/10. The slendric MOS #1 appears as the "slendric chord" in my mavila theory.

Magic

In 16edo magic, the generator is 5\16, a classical major third of 5/4, and five generators make 3/2, represented by 9\16.

The series of MOSes made by magic is huge in 16edo, these are just the three most "interesting" examples. Magic MOS #1 is used in 16edo Ollatiu music in Quaternity.

Fendo

16edo is at the bottom of the fendo tuning range, with the generator, 6\16, essentially being exactly 13/10. Additionally, this is the only 16edo tuning to use the sharp fifth of 750c instead of the flat fifth of 675c.

The second "MOS" is actually 8edo, an equalized 5L3s.

Mavila

Main article: User:VectorGraphics/16edo theory

16edo mavila is probably the most notable 16edo temperament and set of MOSes. In mavila temperament, four 3/2s (represented by 16edo's flat 9\16 fifth) make 6/5, making it somewhat of an "evil twin" to meantone, in which they make 5/4. In terms of mediants, mavila fifths produce diatonic mediants in the "third" range whose relative size is swapped from diatonic, and thus range from 655 to 686 cents.

Fendo

There are several "fendo" scales (in which the fourth is used as a tendo third, represented in RTT by tempering out 40/39) available.

The second MOS is the entire scale, equivalent to an equalized antipentic.
