Diaschismic extensions: Difference between revisions

{{Breadcrumb|Diaschismic}}

In the [[5-limit]], '''diaschismic''' is a [[regular temperament]] (also known as ''srutal'', though they refer to different extensions in higher limits) defined by [[tempering out]] the comma [[2048/2025]] = [11 -4 -2⟩, the diaschisma. The octave is split into two periods, each representing [[~]][[45/32]]~[[64/45]]; and the [[generator]] can be considered to be a perfect fifth (~[[3/2]]), or a perfect fifth less a period, which is a diatonic semitone of ~[[16/15]]. Tempering out the diaschisma implies that two of these semitones are equated to [[9/8]], and as [[9/8]] = ([[18/17]])([[17/16]]), ~[[16/15]] can very naturally be equated to 17/16 and 18/17 as well, producing a 2.3.5.17 [[subgroup]] extension known as '''srutal archagall''', whose commas are [[136/135]] and [[256/255]]. There are multiple ways to extend diaschismic to primes [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]], and [[13/1|13]].
