* 31: The next EDO that melodically approximates the 11-limit, and considerably better. Extremely nice arrangement of intervals that feels weirdly intuitive and ideal. Colourful EDO. Basically ideal meantone tuning as more notes than this is overkill for meantone if you don't specifically want meantone. | * 31: The next EDO that melodically approximates the 11-limit, and considerably better.

* 32: 16 EDO with a sharp fifth. I like it primarily because of it being a power of 2. Exploration into this EDO could be interesting. 80 EDO offers a reasonably good approximation of it through a 16L16s MOSS. | * 32: 16 EDO with a sharp fifth.

* 34: The first good approximation of the 5-prime-limit due to being the first reasonably accurate tuning of [[Kleismic family|kleismic]] and [[srutal archagall]] which are IMO the best 5-limit temperaments that observe the [[81/80|syntonic comma]]. 19 is also a tuning for kleismic but feels like it doesn't do justice to the accuracy and pristineness of kleismic to me, plus its harmonic interpretation is pretty lacking. And 22 is very obviously | * 34: The first good approximation of the 5-prime-limit due to being the first reasonably accurate tuning of [[Kleismic family|kleismic]] and [[srutal archagall]] which are IMO the best 5-limit temperaments that observe the [[81/80|syntonic comma]]. 19 is also a tuning for kleismic but feels like it doesn't do justice to the accuracy and pristineness of kleismic to me, plus its harmonic interpretation is pretty lacking. And 22 is very obviously too high-damage for srutal archagall. Has the sharp 3/2's of 17 EDO, and as 17 EDO is a good colour system, 34 EDO is a natural extension. Also is a very logical "completion" of 17 due to giving a very logical 2.3.5.13.17(.23)-subgroup interpretation of the sqrt(2).sqrt(3) subgroup with some really intriguing possibilities. If you're lacking in inspiration and its wide array of supported MOSSes aren't inspiration enough, try taking a look at the diaschismic-tetracot continuum ([[2048/2025]])<sup>n</sup> / ([[20000/19683]]). | ||
* 35: A subset of 140 EDO, a ridiculously strong generalist system, which endows it with magical tuning qualities. | * 35: A subset of 140 EDO, a ridiculously strong generalist system, which endows it with magical tuning qualities. | ||
* 36: Because of being a superset of 12, quite overlooked. It is actually a very good subgroup temperament! A natural extension of 12 EDO's colour palette, preferring to avoid the neutral and semi- intervals of 24 EDO. I should note though that while both 24 and 36 are reasonably good systems, I do not think they should be used together, as there are preferable EDOs in the high end range, such as 80 EDO. | * 36: Because of being a superset of 12, quite overlooked.

The most potentially difficult part is that depending on what OS you are using, how you have Python installed, what version, etc. there can be complications so that running <code>pip install rtmidi</code> and <code>pip install mido</code> in a terminal does not work, or only appears to work so that there's issues when the code tries to use mido. I list potential issues below, so please read carefully for something applicable to your case if it isn't going smoothly. | The most potentially difficult part is that depending on what OS you are using, how you have Python installed, what version, etc. there can be complications so that running <code>pip install rtmidi</code> and <code>pip install mido</code> in a terminal does not work, or only appears to work so that there's issues when the code tries to use mido.

'''IMPORTANT: A strange error has been found: Python 3.14 and later versions have removed a functionality used by mido internally, so downgrading to Python 3.12 is required if nothing here works.''' | |||
