4 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Xenharmonic"

166bpm xenharmonic fm loop (no tuning system, tuning is determined through fm oscillator sync).

A timbre (rendered with something akin paul naşca’s padsynth algorithm) which has partials of form m + n φ where φ is the golden ratio, and m, n are integers. Though not all the partials, just such a set that this all resembles a usual harmonic timbre. This sequence starts. 1. 000001. 618032. 618033. 618034. 236075. 236075. 854106. 854107. 854108. 47214. This sequence is of several powers of φ up and down from 440 hz (φ⁻² to φ⁵). Look at the spectra for a full dose of xen.

20 approximate over tones of a 440hz sounded by fading in and out them one by one; they ovelap. At first it resembles overtone singing, but the a, fundamental tone fades out very quickly. May sound annoying.

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.
