Last time we looked at equal tempered systems and how they are always of the form:And then we explored how we could choose alpha such that we could make certain intervals, such as the 5th, nice. But the problem was that making one interval nice would make others worse than 12-TET. So how can weContinue reading “Experimental 12-TET: Part 2”

Experimental 12-TET tuning systems
Equal tempered systems The defining property of equal tempered tuning systems is that transposing a melody will preserve the ratio’s of the note’s frequencies. So let’s try and create an equal tempered system. Any tuning system is just a mapping from note numbers to frequncies, so let’s represent our equal tempered tuning system with aContinue reading “Experimental 12-TET tuning systems”
