'''129/128''', the '''Magikarp comma''' is a 2.3.43 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 43rd harmonic [[43/32]] exceeds the [[4/3|perfect fourth (4/3)]].
'''129/128''', the '''43rd-partial chroma''' or '''43-limit Johnston comma''' is a 2.3.43 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 43rd harmonic [[43/32]] exceeds the [[4/3|perfect fourth (4/3)]].


This interval is the 43rd-partial chroma (43-limit formal comma) used to express 43-limit intervals in the [[Functional Just System]] and [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]], as well as extended [[Ben Johnston's notation]]. It is significant to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby quadragesimotertial interval.

== Temperaments ==
Tempering out this comma in the 43-limit leads to the '''[[No-fives subgroup temperaments #Magikarp|Magikarp temperament]]'''. In the 2.3.43 subgroup, it can be viewed as a diatonic-based temperament in which the perfect fifth represents both [[3/2]] and [[64/43]] (43rd subharmonic).


== Etymology ==
== Etymology ==
The name ''Magikarp comma'' was named by [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] in 2025. It refers to [[wikipedia:Magikarp and Gyarados|Magikarp]] (National Pokédex number #0129), which was in turn named after a fictional character in the ''[[wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]]'' franchise (''Pokémon'' species). Before that, this interval was known as 43rd-partial chroma or 43-limit Johnston comma.
This interval was named the 43rd-partial chroma or 43-limit Johnston comma by [[Stephen Weigel]] in 2023.
