• Source: Acemli Rast

Acemli Rast ("Rast with Acem") is the implementation of the descending version of the Rast scale in Turkish makam music. It is in 53 Tone Equal Temperament.




Comparison with Western scales


Since the makam is based on 53-TET, it is impossible to directly tie it to 12-TET Western scales. However, using the 48-TET model, while worse than many other models in approximation, allows for such comparisons.α
The approximation of Acemli Rast within 48-TET would be: Mixolydian(3).β




Notes


^α This is because 48 is divisible by 12.
^β denotes a quarter flat, 25 cents in this case. (One Holdrian Comma in 53-TET)
