Denny Genovese :RE: [tuning] Re: relation between N-ADO and N-EDO : a new revision for bridge between N-ADO and N-EDORE

Dear carl

>>>Why didn't you say so?

>>>Denny Genovese calls these "modes" of the harmonic series.
>>>>>"Mode 5" is 5-10, for example.

Can you tell me more about modes , "Mode 5" and Denny Genovese idea . I
couldn't find anything in internet.

Thanks for your kindness

Denny's thesis isn't on the internet that I know of, but it
should be. IIRC he calls the harmonic series a "practical"
approach to music in just intonation. He's written music in
the first 16 modes, I think. Each mode is an octave of the
harmonic series. He often thinks of them as octave-repeating
scales, though he has some instruments tuned to > 1 octave
series segments (so that lower octaves have fewer notes than
higher octaves) and literally plays music in different modes
on them (the distinction is then down to the musical function
of certain pitches as 'tonics').

Please , can you give me more detail of these 16 modes?

Is 5:6:7:8:9:10 a mode ? am I right? If so he has used 16:17:.....:32
as mode 16?

I think the native scale in these keyboards is the one from 8-16

I believe they are equivalent to your ADO scales.

> Is 5:6:7:8:9:10 a mode ? am I right?

Yes. Is this not also 5 ADO?

> If so he has used 16:17:.....:32 as mode 16?

Yes.

Maybe even 32-64. I'm sure Denny would like to hear about this,
as it also mentions his other interest: combining modes of the
harmonic and subharmonic series.

I've sent in a query about the status of the project. It looks
for the moment like it's still on the drawing board.
