== POTE generator ==
== Undocumented temperament ==
I am looking for an understandable explanation of POTE generator, the linked POTE tuning (and also Tenney-Euclidean Tuning) doesn't help very much.


...maybe I'm not patient enough or too poor in English, but I cannot find a description in the text. Please help!
I was wandering around the temperament finder and found this: http://x31eq.com/cgi-bin/rt.cgi?ets=27+%26+50&limit=7

It has a name but not documented here. Maybe we add it? [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 06:56, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Would it help if I described how to find the POTE tuning in a way which did not attempt to discuss any theory?

Yes, a practical help to get done a particulare POTE tuning. Nothing against the theory (and links to theoretical topics will be good), but the way to percept a theory is better, when it starts at the problem. Try first to ask: What is the problem that is solved by this technique (an why is it a problem at all). I think if the problem is not well understood, then the solution either.

See what you think now.

I'm extending this temperament to 13-limit cuz there's an obvious mapping for 13. For 11, there's 27p & 77 or 27e & 77. It can be shown 27e & 77 is lowest in badness so I'm going for that. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 06:46, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

== Temperament Names? ==
== Check EDO lists ==
Does anyone have any idea why the temperaments have such cool names? Why are there no examples of songs or even samples of the temperament?

FloraC, can you give a short HowTo for checking these lists? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 17:41, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Some time back in the last millenium Herman Miller came up with a scale he called "starling", analysis of which indicated it was based on tempering out 126/125.

Did he know what he was making, or did he just to it intuitively?
