Short compositional example of "impossible" concordant 7 notes-at-once-per-octave chord-based scale

   This uses
A) Binaural separation of chords (one three note and one four note chord per stereo channel) to prevent "non-harmonic" beating and
B) My best attempt to prevent exaggerated bin-aural beating and create "periodic noise" instead (if anyone has advice on how to do this mathematically I'd appreciate it: I mostly just used my ears)

   It is only done with sine waves as I have not had enough time to generate instruments to match the new scale's overtone schema.

   Enjoy, feel free to ask questions and, by all means, help me improve this: this is just an "amateur prototype" I made as a basic "proof of concept" before others will hopefully pitch
in.
Again I am convinced...this can be done, and in a way that eventually can compete with
just-intonation in terms of consonance without the same limits on chord combinations.

For those tunaniks without FileMaker, you can now get the listing of

scales in .xls format, as I have now completed the first draft of all

the possible 12edo scales, and at least one meantone version of each

scale and a list of triads which can be played for each scale.
