Note that all versions of undim (ones that do not already map 19 differently and more accurately) have an obvious extension to prime 19 by observing that sharpening 1215/1024 by [[1216/1215]] results in [[19/16]], thus mapping 19/16 to [[4edo|1\4]]. This interpretation is arguably much more harmonically plausible, owing to its simplicity and thereby greater tolerance to mistuning.

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 undim family of temperaments tempers out the undim comma, [41 -20 -4⟩.

Undim

Undim features a quarter-octave period, which acts as the ptolemaic augmented second (1215/1024). That and five perfect fourths (i.e. a minor second, ~256/243) give the interval class of 5. Undim has a ploidacot of tetraploid monocot, and equates the Pythagorean comma with a stack of four schismas, making it a member of the schismic–Pythagorean equivalence continuum with n = 4.

The name undim was given by Petr Pařízek in 2011 for it is some sort of opposite to diminished[1].

Overview to extensions

The second comma of the normal comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. Septimal undim (140 & 152) tempers out 5120/5103 (hemifamity). Unlit (152 & 316) does 4375/4374 (ragisma) instead. Twilight (152 & 176) adds 6144/6125 (porwell) to the comma list and splits the period into two – 1/8 of an octave.

Note that all versions of undim (ones that do not already map 19 differently and more accurately) have an obvious place for prime 19 by observing that sharpening 1215/1024 by 1216/1215 results in 19/16, thus mapping 19/16 to 1\4.

Septimal undim

Septimal undim tempers out the dimcomp comma, mapping ~25/21 to the 1/4-octave period. It can be described as 12 & 140, and is the unique temperament that equates a syntonic~septimal comma with a stack of three marvel commas. A Pythagorean comma is then found as a stack of four marvel commas. In some 7-limit adaptive-tuning practice, the marvel comma corresponds to a melodic unit called a kleisma, with three kleismas making a comma, so this temperament may be useful for modeling that. 292edo makes for an excellent tuning.
