    12 tone equal temperament chromatic scale on C, one full octave ascending, notated only with sharps. Play ascending and descending ⓘ. An equal temperament is a musical temperament or tuning system that approximates just intervals by dividing an octave (or other interval) into steps such that the ratio of the frequencies of any adjacent pair of notes is the same.

    The first is in equal temperament; the second is in just intonation. The pair of chords is repeated with a transition from equal temperament to just intonation between the two chords. In the equal temperament chords a roughness or beating can be heard at about 4 Hz and about 0.8 Hz. In the just intonation triad, this roughness is absent.

    This variation led in the 18th century to an increase in the use of equal temperament, in which the frequency ratio between each pair of adjacent notes on the keyboard was made equal. In other words, the ratio between two notes that were one octave apart was kept pure, and the twelve notes in between the octave were equally spaced from one ...

    Comparison between tunings: Pythagorean, equal-tempered, quarter-comma meantone, and others.For each, the common origin is arbitrarily chosen as C. The degrees are arranged in the order or the cycle of fifths; as in each of these tunings except just intonation all fifths are of the same size, the tunings appear as straight lines, the slope indicating the relative tempering with respect to ...

  6. Pythagorean tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

    The Pythagorean scale is any scale which can be constructed from only pure perfect fifths (3:2) and octaves (2:1). [5] In Greek music it was used to tune tetrachords, which were composed into scales spanning an octave. [6] A distinction can be made between extended Pythagorean tuning and a 12-tone Pythagorean temperament.

  7. Interval (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(music)

    Intervals with small-integer ratios are often called just intervals, or pure intervals. Most commonly, however, musical instruments are nowadays tuned using a different tuning system, called 12-tone equal temperament. As a consequence, the size of most equal-tempered intervals cannot be expressed by small-integer ratios, although it is very ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_tone

    Traditionally in Western music, a musical tone is a steady periodic sound. A musical tone is characterized by its duration , pitch , intensity (or loudness ), and timbre (or quality). [ 1 ] The notes used in music can be more complex than musical tones, as they may include aperiodic aspects, such as attack transients , vibrato , and envelope ...

  9. Musical tuning - Wikipedia

    It is impossible to tune the twelve-note chromatic scale so that all intervals are pure. For instance, three pure major thirds stack up to ⁠ 125 / 64 ⁠, which at 1 159 cents is nearly a quarter tone away from the octave (1200 cents). So there is no way to have both the octave and the major third in just intonation for all the intervals in ...
