Ammonite

From Xenharmonic Reference
(Redirected from Tridec)

Ammonite, 29 & 37, is a temperament generated by an accurate 13/10, such that

  • 2 generators = 22/13
  • 3 generators = 10/9~11/10~12/11 (hence Ammonite is a weak extension of 2.3.5.11 Porcupine)
  • 4 generators = 10/7
  • 9 generators = 4/3

Ammonite generates a very soft oneirotonic (5L3s) MOS with L ~= 11/10 and s ~= 14/13. It is most accurate as its 2.7/5.11/5.13/5 (or 2.(5:7:11:13)) restriction, which is technically called Tridec; Ammonite[8] provides 5:11:13 and 5:7:13 chords.
