The '''diminished family''' of [[regular temperament|temperaments]] [[tempering out|tempers out]] the major diesis a.k.a. diminished comma, [[648/625]], the amount by which four [[6/5]] minor thirds exceed an [[octave]], and so identifies the minor third with the quarter-octave. Hence it has the same 300-cent 6/5-approximations as [[12edo]].

The [[generator]] of diminished can be taken as a fifth or a semitone, and 12edo, with its excellent fifth, is an obvious tuning, though a flatter fifth might be preferred to go with the flat minor third. Its [[ploidacot]] is tetraploid monocot.

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

The diminished family of temperaments tempers out the major diesis a.k.a. diminished comma, 648/625, the amount by which four 6/5 minor thirds exceed an octave, and so identifies the minor third with the quarter-octave. Hence it has the same 300-cent 6/5-approximations as 12edo.

Diminished

The generator of diminished can be taken as a fifth or a semitone, and 12edo, with its excellent fifth, is an obvious tuning, though a flatter fifth might be preferred to go with the flat minor third. Its ploidacot is tetraploid monocot.

Cohedim

This extension has been documented in Graham Breed's temperament finder as hemidim, the same name as 11-limit 4e & 24 and 13-limit 4ef & 24. For the 11-limit 8bce & 12 temperament, cohedim arguably makes more sense. Its ploidacot is tetraploid alpha-dicot.

Octonion

Octonion tempers out 245/243, and may be described as the 8d & 24 temperament. Its ploidacot is octoploid monocot.

It was formerly known as semidim but renamed to avoid confusion with another temperament of the same name.
