{{About|the regular temperament|the ploidacot signature|Ploidacot/Tetracot}}


'''Tetracot''', in this article, is the rank-2 [[regular temperament]] for the 2.3.5.11.13 [[subgroup]] defined by tempering out [[100/99]], [[144/143]], and [[243/242]].
'''Tetracot''', in this article, is the [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] in the 2.3.5.11.13 [[subgroup]] [[generator|generated]] by a submajor second of about 174–178{{cent}} which represents both [[10/9]] and [[11/10]]. It is so named because the generator is a quarter of fifth: four such generators make a perfect fifth which approximates [[3/2]], which cannot occur in [[12edo]], resulting in [[100/99]], [[144/143]], and [[243/242]] being [[tempering out|tempered out]]. This is in contrast to [[meantone]], where 10/9 is tuned sharper than or equal to just in order to be equated with [[9/8]].


It can be seen as implying a rank-2 tuning which is [[Generator|generated]] by a sub-major second of about 176 [[cent]]s which represents both [[10/9]] and [[11/10]]. It is so named because the generator is a quarter of fifth: four generators make a fifth which approximates [[3/2]], which cannot occur in [[12edo]]. Equal temperaments that support tetracot include {{EDOs| 27, 34, and 41 }}.
[[Equal temperament]]s that [[support]] tetracot include {{EDOs| 27, 34, and 41 }}.  


Tetracot has many extensions for 7, 11 and 13-limit include monkey (34 &amp; 41), bunya (34d &amp; 41), modus (27e &amp; 34d) and wollemia (27e &amp; 34).
Tetracot has four strong [[extension]]s for the 7-, 11-, and 13-limit, which use the same methods of obtaining the [[11/1|11th]] and [[13/1|13th]] harmonics (10 generators up and 2 generators down, respectively) but differ in their methods of obtaining the [[7/1|7th harmonic]]:
* [[Monkey]] (34 & 41) obtains the 7th harmonic at 15 generators down, tempering out [[875/864]] and thereby equating [[7/4]] with ([[6/5]])<sup>3</sup>;
* [[Bunya]] (34d & 41) obtains the 7th harmonic at 26 generators up, tempering out [[225/224]] and thereby equating [[7/2]] with ([[15/8]])<sup>2</sup>;
* [[Modus]] (27e & 34d) obtains the 7th harmonic at 8 generators down, tempering out [[64/63]] and thereby equating 7/4 with [[16/9]];
* [[Wollemia]] (27e & 34) obtains the 7th harmonic at 19 generators up, tempering out [[126/125]] and thereby equating [[7/1]] with ([[5/3]])<sup>3</sup>([[3/2]]).

Tetracot is considered as a [[cluster temperament]] with seven clusters of notes in an octave. The chroma interval between adjacent notes in each cluster represents 40/39 ~ 45/44 ~ 55/54 ~ 65/64 ~ 66/65 ~ 81/80 ~ 121/120 all tempered together.

=== As a detemperament of 7et ===
[[File: Tetracot 7et Detempering.png|thumb|Tetracot as a 34-tone 7et detempering]]
 
Tetracot is considered as a [[cluster temperament]] with 7 clusters of notes in an octave, so it is naturally a [[detemperament]] of the [[7edo|7 equal temperament]]. The diagram on the right shows a 34-tone detempered scale, with a generator range of −16 to +17, which covers all the intervals in the no-7 13-odd-limit. Each category is divided into four or five qualities separated by 7 generator steps, which represent [[40/39]], [[45/44]], [[55/54]], [[65/64]], [[66/65]], [[81/80]], and [[121/120]] all at once.
 
== Scales ==
* [[Tetracot7]] – [[6L&nbsp;1s]] scale
* [[Tetracot13]] – improper [[7L&nbsp;6s]]
* [[Tetracot20]] – improper [[7L&nbsp;13s]]

This page is about the regular temperament. For the ploidacot signature, see Ploidacot/Tetracot.

Tetracot, in this article, is the rank-2 temperament in the 2.3.5.11.13 subgroup generated by a submajor second of about 174–178 ¢ which represents both 10/9 and 11/10. It is so named because the generator is a quarter of fifth: four such generators make a perfect fifth which approximates 3/2, which cannot occur in 12edo, resulting in 100/99, 144/143, and 243/242 being tempered out. This is in contrast to meantone, where 10/9 is tuned sharper than or equal to just in order to be equated with 9/8.

Equal temperaments that support tetracot include 27, 34, and 41.

Tetracot has four strong extensions for the 7-, 11-, and 13-limit, which use the same methods of obtaining the 11th and 13th harmonics (10 generators up and 2 generators down, respectively) but differ in their methods of obtaining the 7th harmonic:

  • Monkey (34 & 41) obtains the 7th harmonic at 15 generators down, tempering out 875/864 and thereby equating 7/4 with (6/5)3;
  • Bunya (34d & 41) obtains the 7th harmonic at 26 generators up, tempering out 225/224 and thereby equating 7/2 with (15/8)2;
  • Modus (27e & 34d) obtains the 7th harmonic at 8 generators down, tempering out 64/63 and thereby equating 7/4 with 16/9;
  • Wollemia (27e & 34) obtains the 7th harmonic at 19 generators up, tempering out 126/125 and thereby equating 7/1 with (5/3)3(3/2).

See Tetracot family for technical data.

As a detemperament of 7et

Tetracot as a 34-tone 7et detempering

Tetracot is considered as a cluster temperament with 7 clusters of notes in an octave, so it is naturally a detemperament of the 7 equal temperament. The diagram on the right shows a 34-tone detempered scale, with a generator range of −16 to +17, which covers all the intervals in the no-7 13-odd-limit. Each category is divided into four or five qualities separated by 7 generator steps, which represent 40/39, 45/44, 55/54, 65/64, 66/65, 81/80, and 121/120 all at once.
