People #2

I made a few changes to the tuning. It’s still very rough. This will take some time.
Basically, I use the following five 16-note scales which are either otonal (overtone based) or utonal (undertone based).

  • 9:8 utonal
  • 5:4 utonal
  • 4:3 otonal
  • 16:9 otonal
  • 1:1 otonal

The 16-note utonal scales four “minor”, one neutral but close to major, and one major scales. The otonal scales can create 3 major and three “minor” scales. From all those scales I pull the tones I need to make each measure as consonant as I can.
