Am i the only one who understands that any sound can be made suitable for tritave scales by ring modulating it with a sine one octave lower?

I find it to be depending on the listener�s focus more than anything else.Since the basic theory behind tritave scales is to base the music only on odd-numbered factors,all sounds containing even harmonics(non-symmetrical waves)are to be considered inharmonic.I�m planning to use a pitch tracker to control a ring modulator affecting my own voice to sing and play whacky futurist folk music in tritave based tunings with synthesizers and percussion.
