From: matt rocker Using Helmholtz as a reference (to what prime intervals are most consonant) he calls a "natural" scale C 1/1 0 cents D 9/8 204 Eb 6/5 316 E 5/4 386 F 4/3 498 (inversion of 3/2) G 3/2 702 Ab 8/5 814 (inv. maj3 5/4) A 5/3 884 (inv. min3 6/5) Bb 7/4 969 B 15/8 1088 (5/4 above G) In regards to some postings on composing and using a more free intonation (likely sticking to those just thirds above on all chords) has there been much use of synths which have adjustable tuning maps for different tonalities, or even for every chord?
