Gamelan Tuning vs 12 Tone Equal Temperament
Gamelan Tuning vs 12 Tone Equal Temperament
This is where I try to find a good way to visualize the difference in intervals between notes in gamelan tunings and western (12 tone equal temperament)
NumberLinePlot seems good, but 12TET is logarithmic, so you can't really see the... equality of the intervals.

I'm not sure what's going on with the UIUC gangsas - the 1 and 3 keys were identical on both instruments.
