The Crunchiest Chords (31-TET)

@@kedronmallia939 I was referring more to the... tonal nature? of the composition. Microtones are nuts. And I wish I had more time to learn theory. I just watch KZbin videos now.

[@TaveZgg]

@@jemplayer if your goal is to listen to more microtonal music, try some classical Indian, or Indonesian music. The indian raga system, like many other middle eastern tuning systems are scales that use microtones (half flat/sharp) and also have specific ornamentations built around microtones. The indonesian "classical" music (built around bronze gong instruments) is often purposefully "out of tune" (i put that in parentheses as that's how it's seen in western music, not in indonesian music) and often times has sounds that are very microtonal and seem out of place, even though they're totally normal. Last thing id recommend is listening to the poet by Tigran Hamasyan. It's a cool example of how middle eastern scales can sound both out of tune, and in tune at the same time. If im not mistaken, he plays a piano and doubles it, changing one piano to a half flat/half sharp note to match the middle eastern sound

[@JaQba91]

Ha ha.

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

Technically, some of these might sound more in tune to certain individuals with perfect pitch. Apparently the harmonic series is not in consistent intervals, but the tuning of a piano _is._

[@cgibbard]

@@anonymousaccordionist3326 It doesn't require perfect pitch at all. Perfect pitch is only needed to judge e.g. whether the A on a piano is actually an A, or some other note. As soon as intervals get involved, anyone can tell the difference, because out of tune intervals will have beating between harmonics that you can hear as soon as you know what to listen for. For example, if we take the actual 5th harmonic of middle A, that's 5 * 440 Hz = 2200 Hz. When you hit a string tuned so its fundamental is 440 Hz, you'll also generally get some vibrations at 2200 Hz as part of the timbre of the instrument. Now let's go up a major third from there to C#, and consider the 4th harmonic of that note. If C# were a perfect 5/4 ratio above A, then its 4th harmonic would exactly match 2200 Hz, and that's what consonance is: partials of different notes lining up nicely. Now let's use the major third in 12 equal. We'll get 2^(4/12) * 440 as our C# (It's 2^(4/12) because a major third is 4 steps in 12 equal), and then multiply that by 4 to get the fourth harmonic, and we get 2217.5. There will be a beat frequency between the fifth harmonic of our A at 2200 Hz, and the fourth harmonic of our C# at 2217.5 Hz at the absolute difference of those: 17.5 Hz. This creates a sort of "buzzing" that is *very* noticeable if you're used to thirds that are in tune. Let's try it with 31 equal: we get 2^(10/31) * 440 as our C# (the major third is 10 steps of 31 equal), and then multiply that by 4, and we get 2201 Hz. So the beating is 1 Hz, which is much slower and less noticeable (a little slow beating can even be pleasant, like a gentle chorus effect). It's a compromise though, since while the thirds are more in tune in 31 equal, you give up a little accuracy in the fifths and fourths (not enough to be really painful though -- if we took that A and the E above it in 31 equal, the 3rd harmonic of the A would beat against the 2nd harmonic of the E at about 4 Hz, which is still pretty decent). The fifths in 31 equal are about 5 cents out, and the thirds in 12 equal are about 13 cents out. The real things which set 31 equal ahead of 12 equal for me are that (1) its B-C / E-F semitone is much better in tune with the 16/15 ratio it's generally meant to be, making the major and minor scales just generally better sounding overall. This also means maj7 chords are nicer, not quite as nice as the ones in 43 equal, but very nice, and (2) all the ratios that have a 7 in the numerator or denominator, and which help line up the 7th harmonics of notes with other harmonics of other notes have good approximations and are available to use to make new types of harmony, whereas 12 equal does such a poor job approximating them that it basically isn't a thing.

Glad you think so. Part of the reason, I expect, is that the intervals that occur most often in the tonal music we're used to --- perfect 4th and 5th, major and minor 3rd and 6th --- are very close to in tune. Indeed, 31et's major 3rd (and therefore also minor 6th) is even closer to in tune than 12et's is.
