dividing the octave into 16.5 steps brings up a new universe of sound. every second octave is not present and fifths are quite out of tune. the technical name for this tuning is 33ed4, I simply call it the Equivocal Tuning.

Equivocal Tuning [33ed4]

Frippertronics

Animoog (Frippertronics)

I used a pad sound in Diva and a feedback delay of 5 seconds in Bitwig and played more randomly in my Equivocal Tuning http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/33ed4

I even did another version using a monophonic sound https://soundcloud.com/ahornberg/digital-frippertronics-ii

and at last there is a third version https://soundcloud.com/ahornberg/digital-frippertronics-iii

I worked in a microtonal tuning called 33ed4 https://en.xen.wiki/w/33ed4

There are several loops, constisting of only one note at a dedicated pitch.

The loop lengths are prime numbers to generate new melodies and chords over time.
