Archytas clan

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

The archytas clan (or archy family) tempers out the Archytas' comma, 64/63. This means a stack of two 3/2 fifths octave-reduced equals a whole tone of 8/7~9/8 tempered together; two of these tones or equivalently four stacked fifths octave-reduced equal a 9/7 major third. Note the similarity in function to 81/80 in meantone, where four stacked fifths octave-reduced equal a 5/4 major third. This leads to tunings with 3's and 7's quite sharp, such as those of 22edo, 27edo, or 49edo.

This article focuses on rank-2 temperaments. See Archytas family for the rank-3 temperament resulting from tempering out 64/63 alone in the full 7-limit.

Overview to extensions

7-limit extensions

The second comma in the comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at:

• Schism adds 360/343, for a tuning around 12edo;
• Dominant adds 36/35, for a tuning between 12edo and 17c-edo;
• Quasisuper adds 2430/2401, for a tuning between 17c-edo and 22edo;
• Superpyth adds 245/243, for a tuning between 22edo and 27edo;
• Quasiultra adds 33614/32805, for a tuning between 27edo and 32edo;
• Ultrapyth adds 6860/6561, for a tuning sharp of 32edo;
• Mother adds 16/15, for an exotemperament well tuned around 5edo.

These all use the same generators as archy.

686/675 gives beatles, splitting the fifth in two. 8748/8575 gives immunized, splitting the twelfth in two. 50/49 gives pajara with a semioctave period. 392/375 gives progress, splitting the twelfth in three. 250/243 gives porcupine, splitting the fourth in three. 126/125 gives augene with a 1/3-octave period. 4375/4374 gives modus, splitting the fifth in four. 3125/3024 gives brightstone. 9604/9375 gives fervor. 3125/2916 gives sixix. 3125/3087 gives passion. Those split the generator in five in various ways. 28/27 gives blacksmith with a 1/5-octave period. Finally, 15625/15552 gives catalan, splitting the twelfth in six.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere are:

• Mother (+16/15) → Father family
• Dominant (+36/35) → Meantone family
• Medusa (+15/14) → Very low accuracy temperaments
• Immunized (+8748/8575) → Immunity family
• Pajara (+50/49) → Diaschismic family
• Augene (+126/125) → Augmented family
• Porcupine (+250/243) → Porcupine family
• Modus (+4375/4374) → Tetracot family
• Brightstone (+3125/3024) → Magic family
• Passion (+3125/3087) → Passion family
• Blackwood (+28/27) → Limmic temperaments
• Catalan (+15625/15552) → Kleismic family

Considered below are superpyth, quasisuper, ultrapyth, quasiultra, schism, beatles, progress, fervor, and sixix.

Schism

See also: Schismatic family § Schism

Schism tempers out the schisma, mapping the ~5/4 to -8 fifths as a diminished fourth (C–Fb) as does any schismic temperament. 12edo is recommendable tuning, though 29edo (29d val), 41edo (41d val), and 53edo (53dd val) can be used.

Beatles

For the 5-limit version, see Miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments #Beatles.

Beatles tempers out 686/675, which may also be characterized by saying it tempers out 2401/2400. It may be described as the 10 & 17c temperament. It splits the fifth into two neutral-third generators of 49/40~60/49; its ploidacot is dicot. 5/4 may be found at -9 generator steps, as a semidiminished fourth (C–Fd). 27edo is an obvious tuning, though 17c-edo and 37edo are among the possibilities.

Beatles extends easily to the no-11 13-limit, as the generator can be interpreted as ~16/13, tempering out 91/90, 169/168, and 196/195.

Fervor

For the 5-limit version, see Miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments #Fervor.

Fervor tempers out 9704/9375 and may be described as 25 & 27. It splits the 6th harmonic into five generators of ~10/7; its ploidacot is beta-pentacot. 27edo is about as accurate as it can be tuned.

Sixix

For the 5-limit version, see Syntonic–chromatic equivalence continuum #Sixix (5-limit).

See also: Dual-fifth temperaments § Dual-3 Sixix

Sixix tempers out 3125/2916 and may be described as 25 & 32. It is related to the kleismic family in a way similar to the one between meantone and mavila. In both cases the generator is nominally a 6/5 and the complexity to generate major and minor chords is the same, but in sixix it is tuned extremely sharply, to the point where the 3rd and 5th harmonics are reached by going down instead of up, inverting the logic of chord construction. Its ploidacot is gamma-pentacot.
