~~The~~ '''augmented triad''' is a [[triad]] comprising a root, a [[major]] third, and an [[interval quality|augmented]] fifth formed by stacking another major third.

An '''augmented triad''' is a [[triad]] comprising a root, a [[major]] third, and an [[interval quality|augmented]] fifth formed by stacking another major third.

== In temperaments ==

In [[augmented (temperament)|augmented temperament]], the ~[[25/16]] augmented fifth is [[enharmonic equivalence|enharmonically equivalent]] to a minor sixth (~[[8/5]])~~, the difference of [[128/125]] being [[tempering out|tempered out]]~~. Since the resulting internal intervals are ~5/4, ~5/4, and ~8/5, the augmented triad in augmented temperament is a [[5-odd-limit]] [[essentially tempered chord]]:

In [[augmented (temperament)|augmented temperament]], which [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[128/125]], the ~[[25/16]] augmented fifth is [[enharmonic equivalence|enharmonically equivalent]] to a minor sixth (~[[8/5]]). Since the resulting internal intervals are ~5/4, ~5/4, and ~8/5, the augmented triad in augmented temperament is a [[5-odd-limit]] [[essentially tempered chord]]:

* (Augmented) 1 – 5/4 – 8/5

The gap remaining to close the octave is another identical ~~fifth~~ (~5/4), giving rise to the temperament's name after this chord.

The gap remaining to close the octave is another identical third (~5/4), giving rise to the temperament's name after this chord.

In [[marvel~~|marvel temperament~~]], the ~25/16 augmented fifth is tempered together with ~[[14/9]] ~~(tempering out the difference of [[225/224|224/225]])~~. The resulting intervals are ~5/4, ~5/4, and ~14/9, making the augmented triad a [[9-odd-limit]] essentially tempered chord (→ [[Marvel chords]]).

If [[225/224]] is tempered out, as in [[marvel]] and [[septimal meantone]], the ~25/16 augmented fifth is tempered together with ~[[14/9]]. The resulting intervals are ~5/4, ~5/4, and ~14/9, making the augmented triad a [[9-odd-limit]] essentially tempered chord (→ [[Marvel chords]]).

* (Marvel) 1 – 5/4 – 14/9

Line 17:

In that case, the gap remaining to close the octave is ~[[9/7]], a ''septimal major third''.

Since [[12edo]] is a good tuning of augmented temperament and supports ~~marvel~~, and the historically prevalent [[quarter-comma meantone]] ~~also supports marvel~~, either or both of these essentially-tempered interpretations may be relevant for augmented chords found in common-practice and contemporary music.

Since [[12edo]] is a good tuning of augmented temperament and supports septimal meantone, and the historically prevalent [[quarter-comma meantone]] is a good tuning of septimal meantone, either or both of these essentially-tempered interpretations may be relevant for augmented chords found in common-practice and contemporary music.

In the [[7-limit]]:

* [[36:45:56]] is the simplest JI tuning of the 7-limit marvel augmented chord.

* [[36:45:56]] (1/1 – 5/4 – 14/9) is the simplest JI tuning of the 7-limit marvel augmented chord.

* [[35:45:56]] (1/1 –  9/7 – 8/5)

* [[28:35:45]] (1/1 – 5/4 – [[45/28]])

* [[28:36:45]] (1/1 – 9/7 – [[45/28]])
