Dicot family: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The [[5-limit]] parent [[comma]] for the '''dicot family''' is [[25/24]], the classical chromatic semitone. The [[generator]] is a classical third (major and minor mean the same thing), and two such thirds give a fifth. In fact, {{nowrap|(5/4)<sup>2</sup> {{=}} (3/2)(25/24)}}.

Possible tunings for dicot are [[7edo]], [[10edo]], [[17edo]], [[24edo]] using the val {{val| 24 38 55 }} (24c), and [[31edo]] using the val {{val| 31 49 71 }} (31c). In a sense, what dicot is all about is ~~using~~ neutral thirds ~~and pretending that this is~~ 5-limit, and like any temperament which seems to involve "pretending", dicot is close to the edge of what can sensibly be called a temperament at all. In other words, it is an [[exotemperament]].
