212edo: Difference between revisions

It [[tempering out|tempers out]] the same commas ([[15625/15552]], [[32805/32768]], [[amity comma|1600000/1594323]], etc.) as 53edo in the [[5-limit]]. In the [[7-limit]], it tempers out 2401/2400 ([[breedsma]]), 390625/388962 ([[dimcomp comma]]), and 4802000/4782969 ([[canousma]]). In the [[11-limit]], [[385/384]], [[1375/1372]], [[6250/6237]], [[9801/9800]], and [[14641/14580]]; in the [[13-limit]], [[325/324]], [[625/624]], [[676/675]], [[1001/1000]], [[1716/1715]], [[2080/2079]], and [[10648/10647]].  

It is the [[optimal patent val]] for 7- and 13-limit [[quadritikleismic]] temperament, the 7-limit [[Kleismic rank three family #Rank-3 kleismic|rank-3 kleismic]] temperament, and the 13-limit rank-3 [[agni]] temperament. It enables [[marveltwin chords]], [[keenanismic chords]], [[sinbadmic chords]], and [[lambeth chords]] in the 13-odd-limit in addition to [[island chords]] in the 15-odd-limit.  

To the 13-limit we may add the [[prime harmonic|prime]] [[23/1|23]] without introducing too much extra error, tempering out [[484/483]] and [[507/506]]. The 212gh val shows some potential if the full [[23-limit]] is desired, where it notably tempers out [[289/288]] and [[361/360]]. Also, using 212bb val (where fifth is flattened by single step, approximately 1/4 comma) gives a tuning almost identical to the POTE tuning for 5-limit meantone. This is related to the fact that 212edo splits steps of 53edo, which are mapped to a syntonic comma, in four.

212edo can benefit from slightly [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretching the octave]], using tunings such as [[124edf]] or [[336edt]]. This improves the approximated harmonics 5, 7, 11, 13 and brings the flat mappings of 17 and 19 closer; only the 23 becomes less accurate as it is tuned sharp already.

Since 212 factors into primes as {{nowrap| 2² × 53 }}, 212edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 4, 53, and 106 }}. As such, it can be used to tune the 53rd-octave [[cartography]] temperament and the 106th-octave [[boiler]] temperment.

* 212et (212gh val) has a lower absolute error in the 19-limit than any previous equal temperaments, past [[193edo|193]] and followed by [[217edo|217]].
