... in deed, because 75/64 can be considered as crude 5-limit approximation of the "septimal-minor-3rd" 7/6 (75/64) := (7/6)*(225/224) or in logarithmic Cent...
Lovely theme Monz ! May I disgress here by adding why 75/64 is a very special minor third for me ? (besides being in 5-limit !) On the contrary to 7/6,...

that's a good point. Thanks. I don't know much about microtonal music or tuning. (Curiously, I believe it is, to some extent, irrelant in tonal music, which...
Back around 1999, when i "justified" my piece _3 Plus 4_, i wrote some posts here about my empirical experiments where i ended up deciding to tune a particular...
Hello Graham, a late reply: ... I have experienced firsthand that the same soundfont contains patches that respond differently to pitch bends. One patch was a...
Hi Billy, The 75:64 is, however, present in the 5-limit German 6th chord and is, as ... Yes and for very long I thought that the German 6th is 1/1 5/4 3/2...
This kind of diminished chord is on VIIth step of the major/minor scale, so your chords except the last one are not in their root position. Have you written it...
... There really is no "wrong note" in my example :) Ab is correct. Also see my 2 examples of it's use (and realise I'm using the chord in an inversion there)....
Hello Charles, It seems to me that the diminished seventh is three steps of bIII (L+s) ; ... I don't understand what bIII (L+s) etc means. But as far as...
Hi Oz, Very neat, since we are in the 5-limit. And already, the 75/64 minor ... I don't think 75/64 resonates superior to 7/6 by itself. I personally don't see...
... Looking at those ratios, it turns out that this is the tuning you should get with the dim 7th chord in 1st inversion. In C harmonic minor that would be a...
Much as the ancient deer hunter cut his ancient deer along the lines of its soft tissue and bone-structure (rather than anything resembling fractions or...
Dear brother Danny, While 7-limit has a cool flavour all its own, I would like to obtain a 5-limit diminished seventh for my own selfish purposes. Cordially, ...
Now that I think of it, the first inversion of the chord, which is 160:192:225:270 or 316 + 275 + 316 cents is more pleasing to my ears actually: 0:...
Hello Cameron, You're using D, F, Ab, A##. You might want to study the term "diesis" a bit. ... I just recently learned enharmonic spelling etc. And I can now...
It seems to me that the diminished seventh is three steps of bIII (L+s) ; producing I, bIII, bV, and bbVII e.g. C Eb Gb Bbb Obviously splitting the octave into...
... Oops, the "wrong note" is the Ab being a G#: D, F, G#, B. The doubly augmented sixth occurs in the Beethoven example I think, have to check again....
I have a 7-limit chord similar to yours (it maps to the same degrees in 41, 53 and 72-edo): * 21:25:30:35 * cumulative: 25/21 10/7 5/3 * consecutive: 25/21 6/5...
... You're using D, F, Ab, A##. You might want to study the term "diesis" a bit. You must understand that in doing what you doing, are not actually working...
Hi Oz, This is an interesting and wholesome diminished seventh chord that I ... Yes this is the diminished 7th chord that I used in Beethoven's Drei Equali No1...
... The "average tonal ear" won't notice the difference between a flat seven and a blue flat seven? Not only is your statement wrong, it is interestingly...
Uh, I notice that one cannot have a stretched octave with the ScaleVisualizer. Inputting 1204 cents, for example, makes the program produce a nasty distortion....
Hello Tetsuji! This is a nice program. Very nice. But cents resolution is too crude for some purposes. Would you think of implementing 0.1 cent precision? ...
Well, the sensitivity is more towards theoretical solidness rather than perceptual threshold. It is doubtful whether anyone can differentiate this chord from a...
but in a chord progression, does it really matter? The average tonal ear won't notice the tuning differences you describe. But of course for microtonal music...
This is an interesting and wholesome diminished seventh chord that I couldn't find in the Chords database of SCALA: 135:160:192:225 When the chord is unfolded,...
