    Pour le calcul d'une note, utilisez la formule :

    n est le degré de la note entre 1 et 31
    X est le rapport de fréquence entre la fondamentale et la note recherchée
    Je ne sais pas s'il y a des correspondances avec les notes naturelles, multiple d'un son fondamental ? Notamment pour les multiples 5, 7, 11, etc, qui n'ont pas de correspondance convainquante par rapport au système à tempérament égal de 12 sons ?

    • @ykrgfk
      @ykrgfk Рік тому

      @@nab626 The term 'quarter tones' confuses the issue - unless you really mean 12-tone equal temperament semitones equally cut in half - which gets you nowhere much. Middle eastern music doesn't use such intervals because it doesn't use 12-tone equal temperament to start with. There are many scales using microtones that produce much more listenable music than 12-tet 'quarter tones'. The tones in the tuning used here are roughly third tones - but only roughly - and there are 31 equal divisions to the octave (hence the name 31-tet) The resulting scale, as well as producing usable harmonic microtones, also produces semi-tones and whole tones that are acoustically, harmonically more accurate than those on a piano tuned to 12-tone equal temperament.
      Anyone interested in hearing a piano tuned to Just Intonation (not 31-tet but more accurate than 12-tet as long as you don't play in harmonically distant keys) should check out the music of Michael Harrison.
