An impulse response, made with vital softsynth, simulating the responce of a bunch of strings tuned to notes of bohlen—pierce scale. Specifically, a middle ground between 13 equal divisions of a tritave (interval 3/1) and the just-intonation bohlen—pierce scale. (for no particular reason. ). Convolving with this might add some xen flavor to your sounds, even if you play in standard tuning 12edo. I tried it with surge xt’s hammered dulcimer patch (i love hammered dulcimer!) and heard some additional shimmering.
5 7 9 chord on E, eight steps in the octave. Other non-octave tunings investigated by Bohlen besides the Bohlen-Pierce scale include eight steps in the octave, based on 5:7:9 and of which only the just version would be used. Traditional notation: E B♭ D.
