Artist's description:
Going the other route trying to maximize consonance without worrying about overtones IE using pure sine waves for instrument. In fact this is a pure result from the consonance maximization formula with a slight artistic detune on top to enhance/align emotional content of the scale.

If this sounds good, that means I can work on making a specially designed program to make "real" instruments, such as pianos, have modified timbres to fit this scale system.

My question to you, regardless of if you hate the fact I'm using sine waves...is does this sound natural/clear/harmonic? And if not, which notes don't mix?

True....through the beats are partly just a result of using sine waves (which have no phase rotation to help them avoid beating...Helmholtz would hate me LOL). :-D

Then in that case it is working for me - though I think the overlap clouds it. At least I can hear "beats" in places.

Because two tones at once play in harmony. What you are hearing is harmonized...although with 2 notes and not the usual 4 note chords.

I'm not sure how I can hear consonance in a melodic version that slurrs adjacent notes...
