Bug family: Difference between revisions

The 5-limit parent of the '''bug family''' is bug, a temperament of sorts (that is, an [[exotemperament]]) which tempers out [[27/25]], the large limma, approximately one step of [[9edo]]. The monzo for 27/25 is {{monzo| 0 3 -2 }}.

The generator for bug is ~5/3, two of which give the ~3, and three of which give the ~5. Bug may be described as the {{nowrap| 4 & 5 }} temperament, and its [[ploidacot]] is alpha-dicot. [[14edo]] is a good bug tuning, though wide latitude in these matters is possible. 4-, 5-, or 9-note [[mos]] are a place to start with it. Another notable tuning of bug is given by [[TE]], [[CTE]] and [[POTE]], all coinciding at 939.612{{c}} with pure octaves since prime 2 is not involved in the comma to begin with.

=== Overview to extensions ===

Bug has an obvious 7-limit extension, [[#Beep|beep]], via the normal comma list {27/25, 36/35} which can also be obtained by adding [[21/20]]. There is an alternative, [[#Mite|mite]], which adds [[28/25]] instead.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include [[Very low accuracy temperaments #Ugolino|ugolino]] and [[Very low accuracy temperaments #Codex|codex]]. Considered below are beep and mite.  

{{Main| Beep }}

{{See also| Semaphoresmic clan }}

As bug divides [[3/1]] in half for 5/3~9/5, it only makes sense to also equate this interval with 7/4~12/7, joining the temperament with [[semaphore and godzilla|semaphore]].

Beep has the curious property that if we know both the beep tempering and the [[ennealimmal]] tempering of a given 7-limit interval ''x'', that is enough to know what JI ratio ''x'' is.
