Re: A160-2 poll - fibonacci and prime dividers

2013-03-01 by Nick

Hi Martin

The idea behind dividers using prime numbers is that they would be arhythmic, good at non-repeating patterns.
I've had a reply from Nicholas at erthenvar, who said,

"I'll add you to a list for a Fibonacci. I have assembled units but I'm missing 1 piece which is in storage, so I hope it won't be too long. I chose to do Odd instead of Prime. Unfortunately I seem to have chosen wrong because many folks request Prime."

He suggests that there's not a great deal of difference between 
Odd   1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and
Prime 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19.
and there's a deal of truth in that, though, of course, 15 is non-prime. And you don't really need the one, so 23 might fit on.

Cheers, Nick
