new introductory temperament

[Vincent E. Mrykalo]

Ron,
what triads contain equal-beating partials?

>Introducing the birth of the Equal Beating Koval "mini" (EBKM) 
>temperament.  I created this for those people wondering what is a 
>good "starting" temperament.  I had been suggesting the Moore, but 
>decided to take the time to create something especially for the 
>'first time'.
>
>With that in mind, I decided to keep the maximum offset from ET at 
>1.5 cents, and keep any fifths from being too noisy. This leads to a 
>mild well-temperament with the major thirds ranging from 11.6 cents 
>from pure to 15.5 cents from pure.  I then "tweaked" the numbers to 
>create the maximum equal beating effects.  Variety of color, created 
>to fly "under the radar" and be used as an ET substitute on a 
>regular basis.
>
>offsets from equal temperament:
>
>C    1.5
>C#  -.2
>D    .5
>D#   .9
>E   -.6
>F   1.4
>F#  -.8
>G   1
>G#  .4
>A   0
>A#  1
>B  -.3
>
>Realize, of course, with offsets this small, you've got to get 
>pretty close (like ET) to get the proper effect.
>
>This is "freeware", use and distribute as you wish.
