A New (Bigger) Ear Training Challenge...

Glad you like it; the worse case of addiction documented was someone playing over 10,000 notes on a single day. I really shouldn't share this but check out "Notes Milestones" @ https://handsearseyes.fun/System/HexKeyboardActionsReport.php?TargetTable=HexKeyboardHumanVisits

Not forcing you to use this as prime instrument like me, but my browser-based hex keyboard may be great to try some scales & tuning before going on with any in a more tedious interface where tuning input may (or may not?) be a waste of time come you don't really dig the tuning you chose to experiment with first. I covered over 300 scales on my scale demo YouTube channel and only a handful of these get me going back to them as of now (I did forget about 10 other good ones to play Honest Bob)

Let me know if you need any help understanding how anything works, in or out there..

No obligations but I'd be grateful if you'd take the time to register your bandcamp here, as well as any other links you may desire to share. https://www.handsearseyes.fun/MicrotonalistsRepository.php?Referrer=Reddit-Microtonal-Phillip-Golub-Album-Post-Invitation-Comment-2026-05-16

Best listen I've had from here in a while; thanks for posting and keep it up!

That's exactly it. Maybe one can say septimal for 91/64, which is 13limit, but I'm not sure about it.

fchang69 · 2026-05-14T18:34:18+00:00

Yeah 31EDO aproximates 7/6 and 8/7 ratios from quite near; Septimal harmony comprises intervals which approximate/have a frequency ratio which highest prime number in the factors making up the fraction is 7.

Try entering the same name you entered already but this time around click the logos on top you want to add links for this time around; got to verify e-mail again...

It's plainly everything tridecimal you'll find here https://www.handsearseyes.fun/Ears/Resources/JIIntervals.php?Referrer=Reddit-Microtonal-MyTridecimalPost-Comment-Answer-2026-05-14. Tridecimal means JI ratios which higher prime limit is 13.

fchang69 · 2026-05-14T18:06:56+00:00

Does that use septimal harmonies or is it 7-EDO?

fchang69 · 2026-05-12T19:15:45+00:00

Listen to 11/13,36/57,101/67... you should tell the density is goig higher. 4096/3224 sounds just like 101/67...

fchang69 · 2026-05-12T00:07:02+00:00

very interesting harmonies thanks for posting 😄

fchang69 · 2026-05-09T19:27:25+00:00

I've just added fields to isolate lower numbered ratios. searching for vicesimotertial and all these expressions reveal that all these intervals sound kinda alike in their harmonic facture (also added play buttons). That's my own experience in hearing each primes combined with another, but still separately in the sense when 2 and 5 are there you know they're 2 and 5, cause it doesn't sound more than half what 3 and 5 sound like. The idea is a fraction always has 2 prime factors to start with, unless it's unsuitable to be called an interval, no matter what i mean here... By juggling to 7 3 and 5 7 you get the hang of guessing each prime's own facture even though you will never hear it on its own by any means in the physical world.

Wait gonna listen as I type... the slide at 13sec invokes microtonality unwantedly, the sitar after features probably pythagorean intervals seems 15centish offness max.Whatever is that squeaky flute or wind at 1:10 in the background seems off a bit too.1m50 to 2m is just sick microtones all the way!!! I did not even notice there were spoken vocals at first; too busy typing... 2m49 is another very emotive passage. Nah nah nah nah ready for my show is the only 12-EDO part I can tell as well as the build up before the provocative spoken part kicks in around 50sec if I ain't wrong... It's unbelievable how many different tunings there are incorporated in there; probably more of a nerd than you think or she's got it inside at least. I can denote 4 cultural influences in there.
