'''26edo''' divides the [[octave]] into 26 equal parts of around 46.2 [[cent]]s each. It tempers out [[81/80]] in the [[5-limit]], making it a meantone tuning with a very flat fifth.  
== Theory ==
26edo has a [[3/2|perfect fifth]] of about 692 cents and [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[81/80]] in the [[5-limit]], making it a very flat [[meantone]] tuning (0.088957{{c}} flat of the [[4/9-comma meantone]] fifth) with a very soft [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]].  


== Theory ==
In the [[7-limit]], it tempers out [[50/49]], [[525/512]], and [[875/864]], and [[support]]s temperaments like [[injera]], [[flattone]], [[lemba]], and [[doublewide]]. It really comes into its own as a higher-limit temperament, being the smallest equal division which represents the [[13-odd-limit]] [[consistent]]ly. 26edo has a very good approximation of the harmonic seventh ([[7/4]]), as it is the denominator of a convergent to log<sub>2</sub>7.
{{Odd harmonics in edo|edo=26}}


In the [[7-limit]], it tempers out 50/49, 525/512 and 875/864, and [[support]]s [[injera]], [[flattone]], [[Jubilismic clan#Lemba|lemba]] and [[Jubilismic clan#Doublewide|doublewide]] temperaments. It really comes into its own as a higher-limit temperament, being the smallest equal division which represents the [[13 odd limit]] [[consistent|consistently]]. 26edo has a very good approximation of the harmonic seventh ([[7/4]]), as it is the denominator of a convergent to log<sub>2</sub>7.
26edo's minor sixth (1.6158) is very close to {{nowrap|''φ'' ≈ 1.6180}} (i.e. the golden ratio).


26edo's "minor sixth" (1.6158) is very close to φ ≈ 1.6180 (i. e., the golden ratio).
With a fifth of 15 steps, it can be equally divided into 3 or 5, supporting [[slendric]] temperament and [[bleu]] temperament respectively.


The structure of 26edo is an interesting beast, with various approaches relating it to various rank two temperaments.
The structure of 26edo is an interesting beast, with various approaches relating it to various rank-2 temperaments.


1. In terms of more traditional chord types we have flattone, a variant of meantone with flat fifths, which yields interesting but to some unsatisfying results (due mainly to the dissonance of its thirds, and its major seconds of either approximately [[10/9]] or [[8/7]], but ''not'' [[9/8]]).
# In terms of more traditional chord types we have flattone, a variant of meantone with flat fifths, which provides an interesting structure but unsatisfying intonation due mainly to the poorly tuned thirds. Extending meantone harmony to the 7-limit is quite intuitive; for example, augmented becomes supermajor, and diminished becomes subminor. Simple mappings for harmonics up to 13 are also achieved.
# As two chains of meantone fifths half an octave apart, it supports injera temperament. The generator for this is an interval which can be called either 21/20 or 15/14, and which represents two steps of 26, and hence one step of 13. Hence in 26edo (as opposed to, for instance, [[38edo]]) it can be viewed as two parallel 13edo scales, and from that point of view we can consider it as supporting the 13b&amp;26 temperament, allowing the two chains be shifted slightly and which can be used for more atonal melodies. In this way its internal dynamics resemble those of [[14edo]].
# 26edo nearly perfectly approximates the 7th and 11th harmonics, and an entire system may be constructed analogous to that based on the 3rd and 5th harmonics. In terms of subgroups, this is the 2.7.11 subgroup, and on this 26 tempers out the pair of commas [[65536/65219]] and {{monzo| -3 0 0 6 -4 }}. The 65536/65219 comma, the orgonisma, leads to the [[Orgonia|orgone temperament]] with an approximate 77/64 generator of 7\26, with mos scales of size 7, 11 and 15. The {{monzo| -3 0 0 6 -4 }} comma leads to a half-octave period and an approximate [[49/44]] generator of 4\26, leading to mos of size 8 and 14.
# We can also treat 26edo as a full 13-limit temperament, since it is consistent on the 13-odd-limit (unlike all lower edos).
# It also has a pretty good 17th harmonic and tempers out the comma 459:448, thus three fourths give a 17:14 and four fifths give a 21:17; "mushtone". Mushtone is high in badness, but 26edo does it pretty well (and [[33edo]] even better). Because 26edo also tempers out 85:84, the septendecimal major and minor thirds are equivalent to their pental counterparts, making mushtone the same as flattone.


2. As two chains of meantone fifths half an octave apart, it supports injera temperament. The generator for this is an interval which can be called either 21/20 or 15/14, and which represents two steps of 26, and hence one step of 13. Hence in 26edo (as opposed to, for instance, 38edo) it can be viewed as two parallel 13edo scales, and from that point of view we can consider it as supporting the 13b&amp;26 temperament, allowing the two chains be shifted slightly and which can be used for more atonal melodies. In this way its internal dynamics resemble those of 14edo.
Its step of 46.2{{c}}, as well as the octave-inverted and octave-equivalent versions of it, holds the distinction for having around the highest [[harmonic entropy]] possible. In other words, there is a common perception of quartertones as being the most dissonant intervals. This property is shared with all edos between around 20 and 30. Intervals smaller than this tend to be perceived as unison and are more consonant as a result; intervals larger than this have less "tension" and thus are also more consonant.


3. 26edo nearly perfectly approximates the 7th and 11th harmonics, and an entire system may be constructed analogous to that based on the 3rd and 5th harmonics. In terms of subgroups, this is the 2.7.11 subgroup, and on this 26 tempers out the pair of commas 65536/65219 and | -3 0 0 6 -4&gt;. The 65536/65219 comma, the orgonisma, leads to [[Orgonia|orgone temperament]] with an approximate 77/64 generator of 7\26, with MOS scales of size 7, 11 and 15. The | -3 0 0 6 -4&gt; comma leads to a half-octave period and an approximate 49/44 generator of 4\26, leading to MOS of size 8 and 14.
Thanks to its sevenths, 26edo is an ideal tuning for its size for [[metallic harmony]].


4. We can also treat 26-EDO as a full 13-limit temperament, since it is consistent on the 13-limit (unlike all lower EDOs).

5. It also has a pretty good 17th harmonic and tempers out the comma 459:448, thus three fifths gives a 17:14 and four gives a 21:17; "mushtone". Mushtone is high in badness, but 26edo does it pretty well (and [[33edo]] even better). Because 26edo also tempers out 85:84, the septendecimal major and minor thirds are equivalent to their pental counterparts, making mushtone the same as flattone.
=== Subsets and supersets ===
26edo has [[2edo]] and [[13edo]] as subsets, of which 13edo is non-trivial, sharing harmonics 5 and 9 through 23 (including direct approximations) with 26edo. Multiplying 26edo by 3 yields [[78edo]], which corrects several harmonics.

* 26et is lower in relative error than any previous equal temperaments in the [[17-limit|17-]], [[19-limit|19-]], [[23-limit|23-]], and [[29-limit]] (using the 26i val for the 23- and 29-limit). The next equal temperaments performing better in those subgroups are [[27edo|27eg]], 27eg, [[29edo|29g]], and [[46edo|46]], respectively.

[[Andrew_Heathwaite|Andrew Heathwaite]] first proposed orgone temperament to take advantage of 26edo's excellent 11 and 7 approximations. 7 degrees of 26edo is a wide minor third of approximately 323.077 cents, and that interval taken as a generator produces 7-tone and 11-tone MOS scales:

The 7-tone scale in degrees-in-between: 5 2 5 2 5 2 5. [[MOSScales|MOS]] of type [[4L_3s|4L 3s (mish)]].

Line 717: Line 757:
The primary triad for orgone temperament is 8:11:14 and its subharmonic inversion, which these scales have in abundance. 2g approximates [[16/11|16:11]] and 3g approximates [[7/4|7:4]] (and I would call that the definition of Orgone Temperament). That also implies that g approximates the difference between 7:4 and 16:11, which is 77:64, about 320.1 cents.

[[37edo]] is another orgone tuning, and [[89edo]] is better even than 26. If we take 11 and 26 to be the edges of the Orgone Spectrum, we may fill in the rest of the spectrum thus:

Orgone has a minimax tuning which sharpens both 7 and 11 by 1/5 of an orgonisma, or 1.679 cents. This makes the generator g a 77/64 sharp by 2/5 of the orgonisma. From this we may conclude that 24/89 or 31/115 would be reasonable alternatives to the 7/26 generator.
=== Additional scalar bases available ===
Since the perfect 5th in 26edo spans 15 degrees, it can be divided into three equal parts (each approximately an 8/7) as well as five equal parts (each approximately a 13/12). The former approach produces MOS at 1L+4s, 5L+1s, and 5L+6s (5 5 5 5 6, 5 5 5 5 5 1, and 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 4 1 1 respectively), and is excellent for 4:6:7 triads. The latter produces MOS at 1L+7s and 8L+1s (3 3 3 3 3 3 3 5 and 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 respectively), and is fairly well-supplied with 4:6:7:11:13 pentads. It also works well for more conventional (though further from Just) 6:7:9 triads, as well as 4:5:6 triads that use the worse mapping for 5 (making 5/4 the 415.38-cent interval).
