'''Deeptone''' or '''tragicomical''' is a [[5-limit]] [[temperament]] generated by a fifth (~[[3/2]]), which is typically sharper than in 7edo but flatter than in [[flattone]] (approximately 686-691{{cent}}). The ~[[5/4]] is reached by eleven fifths octave-reduced, which is an augmented third (~~C-E#~~). A characteristic feature of deeptone is that the [[81/80|syntonic comma]] is tuned negative, represented by a diminished unison (~~C-Cb~~). This means that ~[[81/64]] is a submajor third flatter than ~[[5/4]], and ~[[32/27]] is a supraminor third sharper than ~[[6/5]]. ~~When properly tuned~~, it ~~features~~ [[~~MOS scale~~]]~~s of the families~~ [[~~2L 3s~~]], [[~~5L 2s~~]], [[~~7L 5s~~]], [[~~7L 12s~~]], and [[~~7L 19s~~]].

'''Deeptone''' or '''tragicomical''' is a [[5-limit]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] that [[tempering out|tempers out]] the [[comma]] [[177147/163840]]. It is generated by a fifth (~[[3/2]]), which is typically sharper than in [[7edo]] but flatter than in [[flattone]] or [[flattertone]] (approximately 686-691{{cent}}). The ~[[5/4]] is reached by eleven fifths octave-reduced, which is an augmented third (C–E♯). A characteristic feature of deeptone is that the [[81/80|syntonic comma]] is tuned negative, represented by a diminished unison (C–C♭). This means that ~[[81/64]] is a ''submajor third'', tuned flatter than ~[[5/4]], and ~[[32/27]] is a ''supraminor third'', tuned sharper than ~[[6/5]]. It has high [[error]] because of its flat tuning of 3/2, although the well-known [[mavila]] temperament has a 3/2 that is much flatter still. It is rated as high-[[badness]] by most badness metrics due to the combination of high [[error]] and high [[complexity]], but it is still of a low enough badness to be usable. Four edos support deeptone in their [[patent val]] ([[7edo]], [[33edo]], [[40edo]], and [[47edo]]), and additionally there is the near-patent val [[54edo|54b-edo]].

== Etymology ==

''Deeptone'' was given by [[user:CompactStar|CompactStar]] in 2023, referring to the temperament featuring fifths even flatter than [[flattone]]. ''Tragicomical'' was allegedly given by [[groundfault]] no later than 2023.<ref>[https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Talk:177147/163840&oldid=107105 Xenharmonic Wiki | Talk: 177147/163840]</ref>

== Extensions ==

Deeptone has an accurate [[13/8]], represented by the interval notated as a minor sixth, so it is very plausible to have a 2.3.5.13-[[subgroup]] [[extension]] tempering out both [[177147/163840]] and [[1053/1024]] (the tridecimal quartertone). This also gives a more simple interpretation of deeptone's major and minor thirds as tridecimal neutral thirds [[16/13]] and [[39/32]] respectively. Tuning this deeptone extension in [[40edo]] results in essentially perfect tuning of [[13/8]] and [[16/13]], which is inherited from [[10edo]].

== Scales ==

When properly tuned, Deeptone features [[mos scale]]s of the families [[2L 3s]], [[5L 2s]], [[7L 5s]], [[7L 12s]], and [[7L 19s]]. Another important scale, intermediate between the [[7L 5s]] and [[7L 12s]] scales, is the "Deeptone[14]" non-mos scale. This scale is notable for being the smallest deeptone scale that is generally "complete" for 5-limit purposes (as noted by [[groundfault]]) since Deeptone[12] has a paucity of 5-limit triads. Deeptone[14] is essentially just two interlaced Deeptone[7] diatonic scales with one of them being offset by an augmented unison above the other.
