'''6561/6250''', the '''ripple comma''' or '''5/12-meantone semitone''', is a [[5-limit]] ratio of about 84.07{{cent}}.

~~6561/6250~~, the ~~'''~~ripple~~'''~~ or ~~'''~~5/12-meantone ~~semitone''',~~ is a [[~~5-limit~~]] ~~ratio of about 84.07{{cent}}~~.

== Temperaments ==

The interval can be treated equally either as a comma, which results in the [[ripple family]], or as a melodic interval in its own right, where it is exactly replicated in 5/12-comma meantone. The 5/12-comma meantone is represented well in [[400edo]], where 6561/6250 is approximated by 28 steps and the generator fifth by 231 steps.

~~== Theory ==~~

As a comma, it represents the difference between [[27/16]] and five [[5/3]]s ([[octave-reduced]]), or [[8/5]] and four [[10/9]]'s.

The interval can be treated equally either as a comma, which results in the [[ripple family]], or as a melodic interval in its own right, where it is exactly replicated in 5/12-comma meantone. The 5/12CM-meantone is represented well in [[400edo]], where 6561/6250 is approximated by 28 steps and the generator fifth by 231 steps.

As a comma, it represents the difference between [[27/16]] and five [[5/3]]s ([[octave-reduced]]), or [[8/5]] and four [[10/9]]s.
