Dynamic tonality
open-in-new
<p>Dynamic tonality is a <a href="/facts/Paradigm/HXpK3X7a">paradigm</a> for tuning and timbre which generalizes the special relationship between <a href="/facts/Just_intonation/TM91PueU">just intonation</a> and the <a href="/facts/Harmonic_series_(music)/PdElIrxL">harmonic series</a> to apply to a wider set of pseudo-just <a href="/facts/Musical_tuning/v5Q1kYxC">tunings</a> and related pseudo-harmonic <a href="/facts/Timbre/lVXB949E">timbres</a>. </p><p>The main limitation of dynamic tonality is that it is best used with compatible <a href="/facts/Isomorphic_keyboard/aoJFQNu2">isomorphic keyboard</a> instruments and compatible synthesizers, or with voices and instruments whose sounds are transformed in real time via compatible digital tools. </p>
