A short tuning comparison among 12-equal temperament, quarter-comma meantone, Vicentino's adaptive just intonation, by means of a fragment from Paradies' Toccata, tuned into:1) 12edo (yellow screen); 2) Quarter-comma meantone (green screen); 3) Vicentino's adaptive just intonation (blue screen). Vicentino's adaptive just intonation is implemented by setting up two chains of quarter-comma fifths at a distance of a quarter-comma; this allows to tune the overall piece into quarter-comma meantone and to raise fifths and minor thirds by a quarter comma, which turns them into the corresponding just intervals. ⦿ More 12-edo vs Meantone vs Just Intonation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcF2CIG93tI&list=PLC6ZSKWKnVz0CRLFDVovKs7oTKRL51IR_ ⦿ More Tuning Comparisons: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC6ZSKWKnVz0CeBpZLMBbjouT9X-xfbXW
