This page presents a topic of primarily mathematical interest.
While it is derived from sound mathematical principles, its applications in terms of utility for actual music may be limited, highly contrived, or as yet unknown. |
The Archytas–chromatic equivalence continuum, or septimal–chromatic equivalence continuum, is a continuum of 7-limit temperaments which equate a number of Archytas commas (64/63) with the Pythagorean apotome (2187/2048).
All temperaments in the continuum satisfy (64/63)n ~ 2187/2048. Varying n results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to archy as n approaches infinity. The just value of n is 4.169771, and temperaments near this tend to be the most accurate ones.
