Wilson, 844 N. Avenue 65, Los Angeles, California 90042. INTRODUCTION: In 1965, we began a series of theoretical studies in microtonal music using the facilities of the computer center of the University of California, San Diego, where the first author was a graduate student in Biology. At that time, hand calculators did not exist, and even the simplest theoretical investigation entailed large quantities of tedious manual computation. As a first step, therefore, we set about the compilation of extensive tables of equal temperaments, linear temperaments, modified equal temperaments, and just intervals. Having obtained these research materials, we were then in a position to study individual equal temperaments in detail with the goal of identifying optimal equal temperaments for the realization of certain harmonic and melodic concepts, derived in part from Partch (1949) and Fokker (1949, 1975). The modified equal temperament and linear temperament were closely related to these optimal systems and comprised the second phase of our studies. The construction of reference tables of just intervals was the third of our projects, and it led to the discovery, by the second author, of a new class of harmonically and melodically symmetrical pitch structures or scales, the Combination Product Sets (CPS). The Combination Product Sets have proven to be both musically useful and theoretically fascinating, and an introduction into their genesis and properties is the fourth phase of our investigations. EQUAL TEMPERAMENTS: Our first project was to examine all the equal divisions of the octave containing from 5 to 120 tones in terms of the harmonic series. This was done in two parts; the first was the calculation and tabulation of the basic intervals of each system by the following method, while the second was the analysis proper or System Interval Equivalents. The octave was divided into N tones by inserting N-1 arithmetic means between 0 and 1. The resulting numbers are the binary or base-2 logarithms of the intervals. The antilogarithms of these numbers are the corresponding roots of 2, which were then multiplied by 440hz to generate pitches for the octave A to a. The reciprocals of the roots yielded string lengths,and multiplication of the logarithms by 1200 resulted in cents. The analysis part operated quite differently. In order to find the closest approximation of a given interval (i.e., 3/2) in an N-fold equal temperament, the base-2 logarithm of the interval was multiplied by N. This product was rounded to the nearest integer, and the difference between this value and the just value was calculated (in cents). The relative error or DEFECT in fractional degrees was then computed by multiplying the error in cents by N/1200. A given interval may be considered as adequately represented if the DEFECT is 0.2 or less. An excerpt from these tables is presented in Table lA. Many copies of the complete tables were distributed to other investigators such as A.D. Fokker, and M.J. Mandelbaum. A similar 1200-tone table was published in the journal, Xenharmonikon (Chalmers, 1974). We next turned our attention to the relatively unexplored region between 120 and 1200 tones per octave. In this study, we employed our analysis program with a more compact format to save space. 348 * 1982 John H. Chalmers, Jr. and Ervin M. Wilson.
Page 349 ï~~ The conclusions we drew from this first investigation were that the low numbered systems, 9,12,17,19,22,29,31,34,41,43,46,53....., are superior to their neighbors, when judged by their degree of approximation to the intervals just intonation, as has been found by other workers (Barbour, 1953; Stoney, 1970; Mandelbaum, 1961; Fokker, 1963, 1968; Hall, 1981a, 1981b; Yunik & Swift, 1980). However, if only partial sets of harmonic intervals or even non-harmonic intervals (i.e.,, the Golden Ratio), are desired for certain melodic effects, other equal temperaments might be preferred (5,7,10,13,14,15,16,24,36). With respect to the large number divisions, the 270-tone (Van Hoerner, 1974; Mandelbaum, 1961), and 612-tone (Van Prooijen, 1978; Bosanquet, 1876; Hall, 1981a, 1981b; Mandelbaum, 1961; Smith, 1978) equal temperaments stand out. The 270 tone division embodies the harmonic series adequately through the 13th harmonic, while the 612 is acceptable throught the 11th (Table 2A,B). Although such large numbers of tones are not recommended for acoustic or electromechanical instruments, they may well have utility as (hyper) chromatic fields for digital synthesis where for technical reasons, a large but still limited number of tones is available. Bosanquet-type generalized keyboards for these two system have also been designed (Wilson, unpublished). MODIFIED AND LINEAR TEMERAMENTS: Modified equal temperaments are stretched and shrunk octave variants of normal equal temperaments, where the octave itself is tempered slightly to improve the consonance of a particular harmonic interval. A good example is Ivor Darreg's variant of 31-tone equal temperament, 49 3, which yields a just 3/1 (twelfth) by stretching each octave to 1203.278 4. Analogous divisions can be constructed for other systems such as Kolinsky's, (1959) and Novaro's (1951) 7 3/2 for 12, and for other intervals, i.e., (44 5 for 19-T.E.T., and 87 7 for 31 T.E.T.. Another approach to use a least squares' technique which, with the harmonics 4,5,6, and 7, yields an octave of 1200.609823 4 for 31-tone equal temperament. Although we considered a number of shrunk octave modifications, (i.e., Fokker's "tempered" 31-T.E.T of 1198.15 4, the experience of Martin and Ward (1961) suggests that these should be less acceptable. Linear temperaments also have a harmonic genesis in that the purity of another interval in addition to the octave is maintained. The prototypes for this class of tuning are the Meantone (5/4 pure), the Helmholtzian (5/4 pure) (Ellis, 1877) and the Pythagorean (3/2 pure). These systems are models for equal temperaments, and for instruments with more than 12 tones per octave such as the Wilson-Hackleman Clavichord-19 (Hackleman, 1976) and the Scalatron (Secor, 1975), they are not only practical but may be musically superior. We programmed cycles of altered Fifths and Fourths which converged to certain harmonic intervals. Having identified such cycles, we combined them in various ways to generate new linear temperaments with novel harmonic properties (Table 3A). Examples are meantone-like systems with perfect 7/4's, F - 696.8826 4; 7/5's, F - 697.0854 4; 11/8's, F - 697.2954 4; and 21/16's, F - 697.3437 4. Positive systems similar to Helmholtz's and the 41-tone equal temperament were also constructed. With somewhat more ingenuity, systems related to the 22-tone equal temperament were also found. The least squares' method may also be applied to linear temperaments and the negative least squares' fifth for the harmonics 3,5, and 7 has 696.8843 cents (Table 3B). These experiments are discussed in detail elsewhere by Chalmers (1974b). The implications of this phase are that the 22,31, and-41 tone equal temperaments are optimal systems, for which the linear temperaments are harmonically dynamic analogues. 349
Page 350 ï~~ JUST INTONATION TABLES: Our attention was next led to the computation of extensive tables of just intervals because scales and harmonic progressions in just intonation were the musical materials which we wished to map into the various equal temperaments studied previously. Since the set of just intervals is potentially infinite, we decided to use no prime numbers larger than 41, and, furthermore, to limit the number of prime factors which could define a composite interval. These limits were achieved by a function termed Complexity, which was defined as the sum of the prime factors times the absolute value of their exponents. For example, 3/2 has a Complexity of 3; 9/8, 6; 8/5, 5; and 15/14, 15. The Complexity limit varied between 24 and 60 in various studies. A sample of these tables is given in Table lB. The 24 limit table was published in 1974, in Xenharmonikon (Chalmers, 1974a). COMBINATION PRODUCT SETS: Surprisingly, even a Complexity limit of 60 proved not to be sufficient for defining the modulations of some intracate musical structures. In order to increase the usefulness of the just tables, it was decided to print them out in several different keys or pitches. While experimenting with different sets of pitch bases for the tables, Wilson discovered a class of harmonically symmetrical pitch structures called Combination Product Sets (CPS). Combination product sets are generated by taking products of N harmonic factors, R at a time. When R - N/2, the resulting pitch sets may be partitioned into sets of paired harmonic and subharmonic chords, or alternatively, into a spectrum of lower homologues. For example, 4 factors (i.e.,1,3,5 and 7), taken 2 at a time, produce the HEXANY, a six tone set partitionable into 4 pairs of inversionally related triads. Six factors, 3 at a time, generate the EIKOSANY of 20 tones, divisible either into 15 pairs of tetrads or 15 species of Hexany, each of which occurs twice. The next homologue is the 70-tone HEBDOMEKONTANY, ( ), which partition into eikosanies, hexanies and pentads. The generation an properties of these remarkable structures are described in Tables 4,5,6,7 and Figure 1. Higher.homologues of 252, 924........ tones, as well as CPS of lesser symmetry, where R # N/2, also exist and may be found by reference to Pascal's Triangle. It should be noted that CPS are harmonically symmetrical in that no single tone is structurally a unique tonic and each tone is included in the same number of consonant chords, both harmonic and subharmonic. Combination Product Sets may also be extended to create larger tonal aggregates. A tone may be added to each of the 8 triads of the Hexany to form a complete tetrad with all four harmonic factors. The resulting 14-tone stellate hexany is termed a "Mandala" from its appearance in certain graphic representations (Table 7B). The number of tones (S) in a stellate CPS.is S - 2P-C where P=(N+ R- 1)I C- NI RI (N-1) I and RI (N-R) I Therefore, the stellate Eikosany has 92 tones and the stellate Hebdomekontany, 590. Another means of elaborating CPS is to create clusters in which CPS share common tones, intervals, chords or sub-CPS. Thus Hexanies can be joined to form 7,12 and larger tone complexes, while Eikosanies and Hebdomekontanies to form still greater aggregates. Combination Products Sets of i-tones have characteristic symmetrical melodic patterns, Im/2' 12, Il> 12, 1m/2> tm/2+l, where I1,I2*******m/2 are not necessarily 350
Page 351 ï~~ distinct intervals and Im/2+1 completes the octave. In the case of the Hexany, this reduces to c,b,a,b,c,d where a+2b+2c+d equals the octave (N). A search program was written to find articulate melodic hexanies in many of the equal temperaments examined in Part 1 and to extract from each melodic hexany the generating tetrad which, in equal temperament, corresponds to the quartet of harmonic factors. For the general melodic Hexany, c,b,a,b,c,d, the generating tetrad is 0,b, b+c, a+2b+c. The Hexany is reconstructed by summing the notes of the tetrad, 2 at a time, (modulo 12). It may be necessary to transpose by -b or rotate the Hexany to restore the original keynote and mode. As an example, the intervals, 221223, define the 12 tone Hexany, 024579, whose tetrad is 0 2 4 7. The Hexany is also known as the Guidonian hexachord and if combined with its transposition at the fifth, generates a major scale as a complex of two' Hexanies (traditionally referred to as mutation) (Table 7D). The paired chords or facets of melodic Hexanies may be found by placing the Hexany on a hexagram or octahedral lattice as in Table 4 after one triad pair has been identified. If the intervals, c,b,a,b,c,d, are summed in order, the notes, 0, c+b, and a+2b+c, are one triad and its complement, the other. These may be placed on the hexagram so that diagonally opposite tones sum to N-d. Structurally consonant chords are those which appear as triangles and which do not contain diagonally opposite tones. The number of Hexanies in a N-tone equal temperament increases roughly as an exponential function of the N and exceeds 100 by N-21 (Table 7C). Thus Hexanies, per se, are likely to be more useful in the small numbered systems; whereas in the large systems, they would most likely be used in an eikosany or higher CPS context. In 12-tone equal temperament, 16 hexanies exist (Table 7A), where they have been listed, analysed, and their occurences in the writings of other theorists noted (Forte, 1973; Martino, 1961; Babbitt, 1955; Gamer, 1967; Winograd, 1966; Rothenberg, 1966, 1975, 1978). Balzano (1978, 1980) has also developed criteria similar to Rothenberg's and Winograd's. The melodic patterns of the CPS may be extrapolated to include certain melodically symmetrical scales which do not necessarily have also their symmetrical harmonic properties. The addition of another pair of symmetrically disposed intervals to the Hexany creates an 8-tone set (octony, octatrope, etc.) with the pattern, d,c,b,a,b,c,d, e. This scale may be partitioned into 8 pairs of inversionally related tetrads, but lacks the defined chordal generator which characterizes the CPS. For this reason the -any suffix will not be used for scales of this type unless they are also CPS (Hexany, Eikosany, Hebdomekontany, etc.). The properties of an 8-tone set are described in Table 8A which shows its partition into tetrads on the oktagram or cubic lattice. As with the Hexany, the consonant chords of these scales may be found by summing the intervals and selecting alternate tones from 0. On the cubic lattice, consonant chords are of 3 types - faces, corners and corner-diagonals which consist of a vertex tone and the three tones connected to it by face diagonals. Chords containing tones on principal diagonals are dissonant.' There are only 10 different 8-tone sets of this type in 12-tone equal temperament, and these have been tabulated and analyzed briefly in Table 8B. The best known is the String of Pearls scale (#4), although #10 has also been mentioned by Wilding-White (1961) who lists several of the Hexanies too (Table 7, #10,#13,#14). In fact, the 8-tone and higher numbered homologues (10,12,14,.. 351
Page 352 ï~~..20....etc.) are more interesting in temperaments with more than 12-tones. In f3-tone equal temperament, the 8-tone set of Table 8A is a Moment of Symmetry, generated by a cycle of 5 or 8 steps (Wilson, unpublished; Chalmers, 1975, 1979) and has been used by Easley Blackwood in his "Twelve Microtonal Etudes for Electronic Music Media" (recorded in 1980). We recommend the Combination Product Sets to the computer composer who desires an organic and non-coloristic context for microtones. Combination Product Sets offer a non-diatonic, but still tonal, in the expanded sense of Partch, Fokker and others, answer to the continual search for new musical resources. One possible compositional approach, among many, would be to circumnavigate an Eikosany, Hexany by Hexany using common triad progressions with optional stellation of each Hexany. Similarly, the more complex and subtle Hebdomekontany may be transversed by Eikosanies with common tetrad or Hexany modulations. Hexanies and Hexany-clusters have been used by the composers, Glen Prior and Gary David, in several works already. The melodic versions of Hexany, Eikosany and Hebdomekontany, as well as their harmonically less symmetrical homologues, may be employed to utilize those equal temperaments considered less than optimal with regard to the harmonic series (13,18,20,21, etc.). In these systems too, acoustic consonance may be exploited, as many non-senary triads and higher chords are reasonably in tune. Even non-harmonic intervals may be made relatively consonant or dissonant by careful control of steady-state spectra by using additive synthesis with nonintegral overtones as necessary. (Kameoka and Kuriyagawa, 1969; Plomp and Levelt, 1965; Pierce, 1966). Thus, we feel that we have developed from our early results at USCD in the in the late 1960's some very general techniques for new scale construction and harmonic usage. REFERENCES Babbitt, M. 1955.
