'''Ultrapyth''' is an alternative extension of the [[archy]] chain of fifths to [[superpyth]]. Like superpyth, it is a temperament generated by a perfect fifth, where stacking two of them reaches the interval of [[8/7]] (tempering out [[64/63]]). The difference is that instead of extending to 2.3.5.7 by mapping 5 to +9 generators, it extends to the 2.3.7.13/5 subgroup (known as '''oceanfront''') by mapping the ultramajor third [[13/10]] to +4 generators (a supermajor third which is also the diatonic major third), tempering out [[91/90]]. This makes sense because the tunings of 2.3.7 archy that optimize for the simplest 2.3.7 intervals (8/7 and [[7/6]]) are sharp of the optimal tuning for 9/7, making that third more ultramajor than supermajor. If intervals of 5 and 13 independently are desired (i.e. [[5/4]], [[13/8]]), then oceanfront may be extended to ultrapyth by mapping 5 to +14 fifths (a doubly augmented unison) and 13 to +18 fifths (a doubly-augmented third). The best tunings for ultrapyth are between 712 and 714 cents.

'''Ultrapyth''' is an alternative [[extension]] of the [[archy]] [[chain of fifths]] to [[superpyth]]. Like superpyth, it is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] generated by a perfect fifth, where stacking two of them reaches the interval of [[8/7]][[~]][[9/8]], tempering out [[64/63]]. The difference is that instead of extending to 2.3.5.7 by mapping 5 to +9 generators, it extends to the 2.3.7.13/5 subgroup (known as '''oceanfront''') by mapping the ultramajor third [[13/10]] to +4 generators (which is also the diatonic major third), tempering out [[91/90]]. This makes sense because the tunings of 2.3.7 archy that optimize for the simplest 2.3.7 intervals (8/7 and [[7/6]]) are sharp of the optimal tuning for 9/7, making that third more ultramajor than supermajor.

The best tunings for ultrapyth are between 712 and 714 cents.


If intervals of 11 are desired, [[14/11]] may be mapped to +9 generators, implying [[16/11]] is (fittingly) mapped to +11 generators and [[11/9]] is tempered together with 6/5 (a feature common to many systems with sharp fifths).

The oceanfront MOS scales take the form of 5L (2+5n)s, for n up to 7. Most of these scales are extremely close to [[5edo]]. [[37edo]] makes a good tuning of oceanfront or ultrapyth.

Ultrapyth is an alternative extension of the archy chain of fifths to superpyth. Like superpyth, it is a temperament generated by a perfect fifth, where stacking two of them reaches the interval of 8/7~9/8, tempering out 64/63. The difference is that instead of extending to 2.3.5.7 by mapping 5 to +9 generators, it extends to the 2.3.7.13/5 subgroup (known as oceanfront) by mapping the ultramajor third 13/10 to +4 generators (which is also the diatonic major third), tempering out 91/90. This makes sense because the tunings of 2.3.7 archy that optimize for the simplest 2.3.7 intervals (8/7 and 7/6) are sharp of the optimal tuning for 9/7, making that third more ultramajor than supermajor. If intervals of 5 and 13 independently are desired (i.e. 5/4, 13/8), then oceanfront may be extended to ultrapyth by mapping 5 to +14 fifths (a double-augmented unison) and 13 to +18 fifths (a double-augmented third). The best tunings for ultrapyth are between 712 and 714 cents.

If intervals of 11 are desired, 14/11 may be mapped to +9 generators, implying 16/11 is (fittingly) mapped to +11 generators and 11/9 is tempered together with 6/5 (a feature common to many systems with sharp fifths).

The oceanfront mos scales take the form of 5L (5n + 2)s, for n up to 7. Most of these scales resemble 5edo. 37edo makes a good tuning of oceanfront or ultrapyth.

Both oceanfront and ultrapyth were named by Mike Battaglia in 2011[1].
