The '''hemimean family''' of [[temperament]]s are [[rank-3 temperament]]s which [[temper out]] [[3136/3125]].  
The '''hemimean family''' of [[rank-3 temperament]]s [[tempering out|tempers out]] 3136/3125, the [[hemimean comma]].  


The hemimean comma, 3136/3125, is the ratio between the [[126/125|septimal semicomma (126/125)]] and the [[225/224|septimal kleisma (225/224)]]. This fact alone makes hemimean a very notable rank-3 temperament, as any non-meantone tuning of hemimean will split the [[81/80|syntonic comma (81/80)]] into two equal parts, each representing 126/125~225/224.

=== Hemimean orion ===
As the second generator of hemimean, [[28/25]], is close to [[19/17]], and as the latter is the [[mediant]] of [[10/9]] and [[9/8]], it is natural to extend hemimean to the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup by tempering out ([[28/25]])/([[19/17]]) = [[476/475]], or equivalently stated, the [[semiparticular]] (5/4)/(19/17)<sup>2</sup> = [[1445/1444]]. Notice 3136/3125 = (476/475)([[2128/2125]]) and that 2128/2125 = ([[1216/1215]])([[1701/1700]]), so it makes sense to temper out 1216/1215 and/or 1701/1700 as well. An interesting tuning not in the optimal ET sequence is [[111edo]]. This temperament finds the harmonic 17 and 19 at (+5, +1) and (+5, +2), respectively, with virtually no additional error.
 
The [[S-expression]]-based comma list for the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup extension is {[[1216/1215|S16/S18]], [[1445/1444|S17/S19]], [[1701/1700|S18/S20]](, ([[136/135|S16*S17]])/([[190/189|S19*S20]]) = [[476/475|S16/S18 * S17/S19 * S18/S20]])}.

=== Hemimean orion (2.3.5.7.17) ===
As the second generator of hemimean, [[28/25]], is close to [[19/17]], and as the latter is the [[mediant]] of [[10/9]] and [[9/8]], it is natural to extend hemimean to the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup by tempering out their difference [[476/475]], or equivalently stated, the [[semiparticular]] (5/4)/(19/17)<sup>2</sup> = [[1445/1444]]. Notice 3136/3125 = (476/475)⋅([[2128/2125]]) and that 2128/2125 = ([[1216/1215]])⋅([[1701/1700]]), so it makes sense to temper out 1216/1215 and/or 1701/1700 as well. An interesting tuning not in the optimal ET sequence is [[111edo]]. This temperament finds the harmonic 17 and 19 at (+5, +1) and (+5, +2), respectively, with virtually no additional error.

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 hemimean family of rank-3 temperaments tempers out 3136/3125, the hemimean comma.

The hemimean comma is the difference between the septimal semicomma (126/125) and the septimal kleisma (225/224). This fact alone makes hemimean a very notable rank-3 temperament, as any non-meantone tuning of hemimean will split the syntonic comma (81/80) into two equal parts, each representing 126/125~225/224.

Other equivalences characteristic to hemimean are 128/125~50/49 and 49/45~(25/24)2.

Hemimean orion (2.3.5.7.17)

As the second generator of hemimean, 28/25, is close to 19/17, and as the latter is the mediant of 10/9 and 9/8, it is natural to extend hemimean to the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup by tempering out their difference 476/475, or equivalently stated, the semiparticular (5/4)/(19/17)2 = 1445/1444. Notice 3136/3125 = (476/475)⋅(2128/2125) and that 2128/2125 = (1216/1215)⋅(1701/1700), so it makes sense to temper out 1216/1215 and/or 1701/1700 as well. An interesting tuning not in the optimal ET sequence is 111edo. This temperament finds the harmonic 17 and 19 at (+5, +1) and (+5, +2), respectively, with virtually no additional error.

The S-expression-based comma list for the 2.3.5.7.17.19-subgroup extension is {S16/S18, S17/S19, S18/S20(, (S16⋅S17)/(S19⋅S20) = (S16/S18)⋅(S17/S19)⋅(S18/S20))}.
