Subject: Studloco vs Rodan the Flying Monster
"Studloco" is the somewhat whimsical name which has been attached to
Miracle[41], 41 notes to the octave in a chain of 40 secors. "Rodan" is
the 41&87 temperament, with truncated 13-limit wedgie <<3 17 -1 -13 -
22 ...||. From this you can see, if you read these things, that the
generator is an 8/7 and the period an octave.
It's been pointed out that Studloco contains the entire 11-limit
tonality diamond with the exception of 11/10 and 20/11, which falls
between -19 and +19 secors. Studloco we can take as between -20 and +20
secors, and it has three copies of this truncated tonality diamond in
it. Studloco has about the same number of notes as the Partch Genesis
scale, and people have had fun compariing the two.
I want to point out here that Rodan[41] is remarkably similar to
Studloco, and in some ways better. Rodan[41] also has everything in the
11-limit diamond with the exception of 11/10 and 20/11 between -19 and
+19 generators, and we similarly have three copies of this truncated
diamond between -20 and +20 generators. The tuning accuracies are
comparable--a good rodan tuning being 128-et. But rodan is a much
better 13-limit temperament than miracle, and has many 13-limit
intervals, in better tune than 72-et allows, inside of the compass of
Rodan[41].
The complexity of 3/2 in rodan is 3 rather than 6, of 7/4 is 1 rather
than 2, and of 7/6 is 4 rather than 8. 11/8 has a complexity of 13 as
opposed to miracle's 15. Rodan is high-complexity for 5/4: 17 as
opposed to 7. But the tuning world is overrun with people who seem to
get along fine without much 5 in their music, and certainly you still
get plenty of it in Rodan[41]. The complexity of 13/8 is 22 in rodan,
which is pretty high, but better than the secor complexity of 34 (or
38, in the other direction) it has in 72-et. Rodan really does much
better at working the 13-limit into the picture.
