There are two notable harmonic entropy minima: [[Kleismic family|kleismic temperament]], in which the generator is 6/5 and 6 of them make a 3/1 ((6/5)^6, tempered, equals 3/1), and [[myna]], in which the generator is also 6/5 but 10 of them make a 6/1 ((6/5)^10, tempered, equals 6/1), resulting in the intervals 4/3 and 3/2 being absent. | |||
=== Temperament interpretations === | |||
: ''Main article: [[4L 3s/Temperaments]]'' | |||
4L 3s has the following temperament interpretations: | |||
# With generator size between 5\18 (333.3c) and 11\39 (338.5c): [[Sixix]], corresponding to a step ratio between 3/2 and 6/5. | |||
# With generator size between 4\15 (320.0c) and 3\11 (327.3c): [[Orgone]], corresponding to a step ratio between 3/1 and 2/1. | |||
# With generator size between 5\19 (315.8c) and 4\15 (320.0c): [[Kleismic]], corresponding to a step ratio between 4/1 and 3/1. | |||
There are also other temperaments in the 4L 3s range, particularly [[amity]] and [[myna]], but 7 pitches are not enough to contain the concordant chords optimized by these temperaments; a [[MODMOS]] or a larger MOS gamut is necessary to access these pitches, if restricted to a rank-2 approach. | |||
== Step ratios == | |||
The basic tuning for 4L 3s has a large and small step size of 2 and 1 respectively, which is supported by 11edo. Raising or lowering certain nominals by a [[chroma]] produces the following scale degrees. | The basic tuning for 4L 3s has a large and small step size of 2 and 1 respectively, which is supported by 11edo.
