Non-Octave Equal Temperaments


13-tone Bohlen-Pierce - Like the 12-tone scale which divides an 'Octave' (2/1 ratio) into 12 parts equally, this scale divides the 'Tritave' or "perfect 12th" (3/1 ratio, a fifth above the octave) into 13 equal parts. The result is a scale with harmony featuring odd-prime harmonics forming near perfect 3:5:7:9 justly tuned chords.
