'''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. Four edos support deeptone in their [[patent val]] ([[7edo]], [[33edo]], [[40edo]], and [[47edo]]), and additionally there is the near-patent val [[54edo|54b-edo]].

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]].

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]].
