31edo is the norm for fixed pitch instruments, however the modern Talman system is more accurately described as 31edo + (theoretically infinite-limit) JI, since JI intervals are used to contribute harmonies where 31edo is perceived to be lacking (such as the 12 cent sharp 13th, 17th and 19th harmonics). | 31edo is the norm for fixed pitch instruments, however the modern Talman system is more accurately described as 31edo + (theoretically infinite-limit) JI, since JI intervals are used to contribute harmonies where 31edo is perceived to be lacking (such as the 9 cent flat 11th harmonic and the 12 cent sharp 13th, 17th and 19th harmonics). | ||
Experimental composers work with a variety of equal temperaments and rank-2 temperaments, including nonoctave scales (like the Bohlen-Pierce scale). | Experimental composers work with a variety of equal temperaments and rank-2 temperaments, including nonoctave scales (like the Bohlen-Pierce scale). |
