A '''arithmetic temperament''' is a type of [[temperament]] which generates a, when period-reduced, arithmetic progression of frequency. This is in contrast to [[regular temperaments]] which generate a geometric progression instead. Arithmetic temperaments are to [[AFS]]s as regular temperaments are to [[ET]]s. Arithmetic temperaments can "[[temper out]]" commas in a similar way to regular temperaments, but because period reduction is now performed through addition/subtraction rather than multiplication/di vision, tempering out a comma means to equate it to 0 (the additve identity) instead of 1 (the multiplicative identity). | |||
