The '''Compton family''' tempers out the [[Pythagorean comma]], 531441/524288 = {{monzo| -19 12 }}, and hence the fifths form a closed 12-note circle of fifths, identical to [[12edo|12EDO]]. While the tuning of the fifth will be that of 12EDO, two cents flat, the tuning of the larger primes is not so constrained, and the point of these temperaments is to improve on it.

The '''compton family''', otherwise known as the '''aristoxenean family''', of [[regular temperament|temperaments]] [[tempering out|tempers out]] the [[Pythagorean comma]] ([[ratio]]: 531441/524288, {{monzo|legend=1| -19 12 }}, and hence the fifths form a closed 12-note [[circle of fifths]], identical to [[12edo]]. While the tuning of the fifth will be that of 12edo, two [[cent]]s flat, the tuning of the larger primes is not so constrained, and the point of these temperaments is to improve on it.

5-limit compton is also known as ''aristoxenean''. It tempers out the Pythagorean comma and has a period of 1\12, so it is the 12edo circle of fifths with an independent dimension for the harmonic 5. Equivalent generators are [[5/4]], [[6/5]], [[10/9]], [[16/15]] (the [[secor]]), [[45/32]], [[135/128]] and most importantly, [[81/80]]. In terms of [[equal temperament]]s, it is the {{nowrap| 12 & 72 }} temperament, and [[72edo]], [[84edo]] or [[240edo]] make for good tunings.

In terms of the normal list, compton adds 413343/409600 = {{monzo| -14 10 -2 1 }} to the Pythagorean comma; however it can also be characterized by saying it adds [[225/224]]. Compton, however, does not need to be used as a 7-limit temperament (also called as ''waage''); in the 5-limit it becomes the rank two 5-limit temperament tempering out the Pythagorean comma. In terms of equal temperaments, it is the 12&72 temperament, and [[72edo|72EDO]], [[84edo|84EDO]] or [[240edo|240EDO]] make for good tunings. Possible generators are 21/20, 10/9, the secor, 6/5, 5/4, 7/5 and most importantly, 81/80.

Septimal compton is also known as ''waage''. In terms of the normal list, compton adds 413343/409600 ({{monzo| -14 10 -2 1 }}) to the Pythagorean comma; however, it can also be characterized by saying it adds [[225/224]].  


In either the 5 or 7-limit, 240EDO is an excellent tuning, with 81/80 coming in at 15 cents exactly. In the 12EDO, the major third is sharp by 13.686 cents, and the minor third flat by 15.641 cents; adjusting these down and up by 15 cents puts them in excellent tune.

In terms of the normal comma list, we may add 8019/8000 to get to the 11-limit version of compton, which also adds [[441/440]]. For this 72EDO can be recommended as a tuning.

In 11-limit compton, intervals of 5 are off by one generator, intervals of 7 are off by two generators, and intervals of 11 are off by 3 generators.

In terms of the normal comma list, catler is characterized by the addition of the [[schisma]], 32805/32768, to the Pythagorean comma, though it can also be characterized as adding [[81/80]], [[128/125]] or [[648/625]]. In any event, the 5-limit is exactly the same as the 5-limit of [[12edo|12EDO]]. Catler can also be characterized as the 12&24 temperament. [[36edo|36EDO]] or [[48edo|48EDO]] are possible tunings. Possible generators are 36/35, 21/20, 15/14, 8/7, 7/6, 9/7, 7/5, and most importantly, 64/63.

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 compton family, otherwise known as the aristoxenean family, of temperaments tempers out the Pythagorean comma (ratio: 531441/524288, monzo: [-19 12⟩, and hence the fifths form a closed 12-note circle of fifths, identical to 12edo. While the tuning of the fifth will be that of 12edo, two cents flat, the tuning of the larger primes is not so constrained, and the point of these temperaments is to improve on it.

Compton

Main article: Compton

5-limit compton is also known as aristoxenean. It tempers out the Pythagorean comma and has a period of 1\12, so it is the 12edo circle of fifths with an independent dimension for the harmonic 5. Equivalent generators are 5/4, 6/5, 10/9, 16/15 (the secor), 45/32, 135/128 and most importantly, 81/80. In terms of equal temperaments, it is the 12 & 72 temperament, and 72edo, 84edo or 240edo make for good tunings.

Septimal compton

Main article: Compton

Septimal compton is also known as waage. In terms of the normal list, compton adds 413343/409600 ([-14 10 -2 1⟩) to the Pythagorean comma; however, it can also be characterized by saying it adds 225/224.

In either the 5- or 7-limit, 240edo is an excellent tuning, with 81/80 coming in at 15 cents exactly. In the 12edo, the major third is sharp by 13.686 cents, and the minor third flat by 15.641 cents; adjusting these down and up by 15 cents puts them in excellent tune.

In terms of the normal comma list, we may add 8019/8000 to get to the 11-limit version of compton, which also adds 441/440. For this 72edo can be recommended as a tuning. In 11-limit compton, intervals of 5 are off by one generator, intervals of 7 are off by two generators, and intervals of 11 are off by 3 generators.

Catler

In terms of the normal comma list, catler is characterized by the addition of the schisma, 32805/32768, to the Pythagorean comma, though it can also be characterized as adding 81/80, 128/125 or 648/625. In any event, the 5-limit is exactly the same as the 5-limit of 12edo. Catler can also be characterized as the 12 & 24 temperament. 36edo or 48edo are possible tunings. Possible generators are 36/35, 21/20, 15/14, 8/7, 7/6, 9/7, 7/5, and most importantly, 64/63.

Hours

The hours temperament has a period of 1/24 octave and tempers out the cataharry comma (19683/19600) and the mirwomo comma (33075/32768). The name hours was named for the reason that the period is 1/24 octave and there are 24 hours per day.
