'''13edo''', or 13 equal divisions of the octave, is the equal tuning featuring steps of (1200/13) ~= 92.308 cents, 13 of which stack to the octave 2/1. It does not approximate many small prime harmonics well at all, so [[Delta-rational chord|DR]]-based interpretations may be preferred among 13edo users.
'''13edo''', or 13 equal divisions of the octave, is the equal tuning featuring steps of (1200/13) ~= 92.308 cents, 13 of which stack to the octave 2/1. It does not approximate many small prime harmonics well at all, and the JI approximations it does have do not fit very well in a temperament accessed by a particular scale like oneirotonic (they fit better in a [[Glossary#Neji|neji]]), so [[Delta-rational chord|DR]]-based interpretations may be preferred among 13edo users.


13edo's greatest melodic strength is its proximity to 12edo, whose most important effect is providing an [[oneirotonic]] (5L3s, LLsLLsLs) MOS which is a compressed diatonic. A functional system for 13edo oneirotonic is provided below.

== Jaimbee and Inthar's functional system for 13edo ==
== Multiples ==
{{Proposed}}
The following system has been developed by Jaimbee and Inthar.
 
13edo's melodically strongest scale is the oneirotonic MOS (preserving the diatonic property of having at least 2 semitones), so it behooves us to find harmonies that work for it. Since there are certain similarities of oneirotonic to diatonic, we can build off of these similarities to assign functions to oneirotonic degrees.
 
For a DR-forward framework like this, prefer mellow timbres to bright ones to bring out the DR effect.
=== Basic chords ===
The most basic chords in this functional harmony system are:
* Major triad 0-4-7\13: A compressed major triad that sounds desaturated and somewhat bittersweet. Somewhat dubiously +1+1. Oneirotonic provides only two of these triads, so alterations are somewhat frequently used to get a major triad. The major triad has the following important tetrad supersets:
** 0-2-4-7\13: Reinforces the quasi-DR effect with an extra tone; approximately +1+1+2.
** 0-4-7-10\13: A compressed dominant tetrad; approximately +1+?+1.
** 0-4-7-12\13
* Minor +1+2 triad 0-3-8\13: A bright and brooding if somewhat hollow-sounding minor triad. Approximately 17:20:26. The important supersets are:
** 0-3-8-10: Approximately +1+2+1.
** 0-3-8-12: Approximately +1+2+2.
** 0-3-8-11: Something like a minor 7th tetrad.
** 0-3-8-15
** 0-3-8-12-15: A concatenation of the minor +1+2 and major +1+1 triads.
* 0-5-9\13: A +1+1 triad and a compressed 2nd inversion major triad. Approximately 13:17:21.
** 0-5-7-9: Approximately +2+1+1.
** 0-5-9-12: A compressed major triad on top of a subfourth.
** 0-5-9-12-15
** 0-5-7-9-12-15-17
* 0-5-7\13: Compressed sus4. Approximately +2+1.
* 0-4-8\13: "Submajor augmented" triad.
* 0-3-6\13: The most diminished-like triad.
 
=== Functional patterns ===
13edo oneiro enjoys two main (rooted) delta-rational sonorities analogous to major and minor triads: 0-(185)-369-646 ("delta-rational major triad" or just "major"/"Maj") and 0-277-738-923 ("delta-rational minor tetrad" or just "minor"/"min"). One of these chords are on the root in the 6 brightest modes of oneirotonic. In the two darkest modes, I think 0-277-738-1015 or 0-738-1015-277 works well. The chord 0-277-738 will be called "minor triad" or "mintri", and 0-277-646-923 will be called "minor diminished" or "mindim".

Adding 923 and 1108 to chords works well, and for jazzy extensions one can add 185, 461, and 646 to the upper octave.

We'll call degrees that don't have the major delta-rational or the minor delta-rational chord ''dissonant degrees'' (keeping in mind that dissonance is a feature a chord has in a musical language rather than a purely psychoacoustic property).

The main resolving degrees (analogues to dominant in diatonic) are 3d and 5d because of their leading tones.

39edo is a Supra (2.3.7.11[17 & 22]) diatonic tuning which has good 11/8 and 9/7 approximations in the mosdiatonic scale, though the 39d val (using the sharp approximation of 7/4) is required. One may favor 39edo over harder Archy tunings for the larger diatonic semitone size.

13edo, or 13 equal divisions of the octave, is the equal tuning featuring steps of (1200/13) ~= 92.308 cents, 13 of which stack to the octave 2/1. It does not approximate many small prime harmonics well at all, so DR-based interpretations may be preferred among 13edo users.

13edo's greatest melodic strength is its proximity to 12edo, whose most important effect is providing an oneirotonic (5L3s, LLsLLsLs) MOS which is a compressed diatonic. For Jaimbee and Inthar's functional harmony and method, see the oneirotonic page.

Note: The logic of ground's notation is to preserve the diatonic order of nominals for the stacked oneirotonic subfourth generators, with one additional note: BEADGCFX

Edostep interpretations

13edo's edostep functions in the 2.9.5.21.11.13.17.19 subgroup as:

  • 17/16
  • 18/17
  • 19/18
  • 20/19
  • 21/20 (the interval between 10/9 and 7/6)
  • 22/21
  • 26/25 (the interval between 5/4 and 13/10)
  • 55/52 (the interval between 11/8 and 13/10, and between 5/4 and 13/11)
  • 128/121 (the interval between 11/8 and 16/11)

Harmonic series approximations

13edo approximates the following harmonic series chord fairly well (x indicates notes that are harder to approximate):

34:36:38:40:42:x:47:x:52:55:58:61:x:68

This can be derived as follows:

  1. the quasi-13edo isoharmonic chord 5:9:13:17:21 => 17:18:x:20:21:x:x:x:26:x:x:x:x:34
  2. the simic sixth chord 17:20:26:29 (+1+2+1) => 17:18:x:20:21:x:x:x:26:x:29:x:x:34
  3. place 11/8 on harmonic 20 => 34:36:x:40:42:x:x:x:52:55:58:x:x:68
  4. use halfway harmonics 19 and 47 => 34:36:38:40:42:x:47:x:52:55:58:x:x:68
  5. 61/52 is .6c off from 3\13 => 34:36:38:40:42:x:47:x:52:55:58:61:x:68

Making an over-17 13edo neji thus requires you to choose those three notes:

  • The notes resulting in lowest pairwise error in mode 34 are 44, 49, and 64.
  • The closest notes in mode 68 are 89, 99, and 129 (which are significantly more complex).
  • A less accurate but lower-complexity neji (limited to oneirotonic) is 22:25:26:29:32:34:38:42:44, so one could specifically choose 44, 50, and 64.

39edo

39edo is a Supra (2.3.7.11[17 & 22]) diatonic tuning which has good 11/8 and 9/7 approximations in the mosdiatonic scale, though the 39d val (using the sharp approximation of 7/4) is required. One may favor 39edo over harder Archy tunings for the larger diatonic semitone size.
