Base-X Tunings for Instruments

I'm setting my electric violin with base-√3, because the frequency of base-3 is too high with the string of violin.


When I/you play the Glass Bead Game, the first generation exists in myself/yourself and in power the flooding (God) always.

It is unique and ubiquitous because of the first generation.


Now the common denominator of music and mathematics here from base-x; the norm.

[0, 10, 100, ... , ∞]'s green means complement.


Below I used 信号発生器 (signal generator) for iPhone for the setting, I use MultiTone Generator PRO for iPhone for the programmed play. The both applications are excellent.


When it is calculated with C ≒ 261.3Hz, the base-√3 series is below as example.

When it is calculated from base-2 A ≒ 440Hz to base-√3 A ≒ 434.75 from base-2_G × (√3^(1/12)) as for Violin, the base-√3 series is below as example.

Any imaginary number exists between base-2 and base-x, because only 2 is a prime number with the Galois' imaginary number in itself.


I think a guitar that the frets have been removed is played with base-x.
