Two Short-comings of Tonotopic Theory


  • Problem 1:

    • Kameoka & Kuriyagawa (1969)

    • Mashinter (1995)

    • repercussion:
      adding spectral content always adds tonotopic dissonance

    • problem:
    • major seventh interval vs major-major seventh chord (Huron, 1991)

  • Problem 2: amplitude modulation
