Hello Xenharmonisists,

I was sans provider for awhile and I missed you folks.

I am still looking for a 4 pole pickup for my Vox hollow body bass.

Can anyone recommend a simple downloadable program (nonMidi, Mac)? Just
something I could mess around with.

Does anyone know of any microtonal concerts in the near future in Los Angeles?

When will LaMonte Young be around to play for his alma mater?

Who are those shoes in the back seat of Calvin's car?

Temperings with parts of the Pythagorean comma are usually circulating
temperaments. They have no wolf fifth. This implies that the Pythagorean
comma is distributed somewhat evenly along the circle of fifths.
Vallotti & Young are circulating temperaments with 6 fifths tempered
by 1/6 Pyth. comma and 6 pure fifths.
The temperaments that I gave aren't circulating temperaments, and have
only one size of fifth (apart from the wolf).
However they could be completed with pure fifths after the cycle that
completes a whole Pythagorean comma. Or have the pure and tempered
fifths in another permutation.
So for instance 1/11 Pyth. comma temperament would have one perfect
fifth and fourth, 1/10 Pyth. comma temp. could have that and a
Pythagorean minor seventh, 1/9 Pyth. comma that and a 32/27, and so
on. Of course that would decrease the number of equal beating triads
in the scale.
There remains one fifth that's tempered very nearly part of a Pyth.
comma in the equal beating temperaments presented. One in John's last
post:
3/2 = twice 6/5 equal: 695.337, opposite: 694.13653
The latter is very very close to a 1/3 Pyth. comma tempered fifth.
