Chromatic with Offset Tonics (COT) as applied to PowerChromatic
Posted: Sun May 22, 2022 4:11 pm
I offer this discussion even though I am not sure if the idea is useful. This Forum’s many experienced and insightful members might see possibilities that I am missing.
I feel compelled to share this idea because I am surprised and intrigued by what I found when I applied my Chromatic with Offset Tonics (COT) concept (at viewtopic.php?f=9&t=874#p3904 ) to Brendan Power’s own PowerChromatic tuning.
We see (below) that in the slide-in layer, the breath pattern is reversed for all the diatonic scale degrees except the tonic. This layer has the exact format of a well-known chromatic tuning called ”Classical”. While the PowerChromatic layer gives us draw-bends for four notes of the scale, the Classical layer gives only two.
