Original Wikitext content:
The 5-limit parent comma for the semicomma family is the semicomma, 2109375/2097152 = |-21 3 7>. This is the amount by which three pure 3/1 twelfths exceed seven pure 8/5 minor thirds. **Orson**, the [[5-limit]] temperament tempering it out, has a [[generator]] of 75/64, which is sharper than 7/6 by 225/224 when untempered, and less sharp than that in any good orson tempering, for example [[53edo]] or [[84edo]]. These give tunings to the generator which are sharp of 7/6 by less than five [[cent]]s, making it hard to treat orson as anything other than an (at least) 7-limit system, leading to orwell. [[POTE tuning|POTE generator]]: 271.627 Map: [<1 0 3|, <0 7 -3|] EDOs: 22, 31, 53, 190, 253, 296 ==Seven limit children== The second comma of the [[Normal lists|normal comma list]] defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. Adding 65536/64625 leads to orwell, but we could also add 1029/1024, leading to the 31&159 temperament with wedgie <<21 -9 -7 -63 -70 9||, or 67528125/67108864, giving the 31&243 temperament with wedgie <<28 -12 1 -84 -77 36||, or 4375/4374, giving the 53&243 temperament with wedgie <<7 -3 61 -21 77 150||. ===Orwell=== So called because 19\84 (as a [[fraction of the octave]]) is a possible generator of this temperament, orwell divides the interval of a twelfth (a tempered 3/1 frequency ratio) into 7 equal steps. It's compatible with [[22edo|22]], [[31edo|31]], [[53edo|53-EDO]] and [[84edo]], and may be described as the 22&31 temperament, or <<7 -3 8 -21 -7 27||. It's a good system in the [[7-limit]] and naturally extends into the [[11-limit]]. [[84edo]], with the 19\84 generator, provides a good tuning for the 5, 7 and 11 limits, but it does use its second-best 11. However, the 19\84 generator is remarkably close to the 11-limit [[POTE tuning]], as the generator is only 0.0024 cents sharper, and it is a good approximation to the 7-limit POTE generator also; hence 84 may be considered the most recommendable tuning in the 7-limit. [[53edo]] might be preferred in the 5-limit because of its nearly pure fifth and in the 11-limit because of it slightly better 11, though most of its 11-limit harmony is actually worse. Aside from the semicomma and 65625/65536, 7-limit orwell tempers out 2430/2401, the nuwell comma, 1728/1715, the orwellisma, 225/224, the septimal kleisma, and 6144/6125, the porwell comma. The 11-limit version of orwell tempers out 99/98, which means that two of its sharpened 7/6 generators give a flattened 11/8, as well as 121/120, 176/175, 385/384 and 540/539. Despite lowered tuning accuracy, orwell comes into its own in the 11-limit, giving acceptable accuracy and relatively low complexity. Tempering out the orwellisma, 1728/1715, means that orwell interprets three stacked 7/6 generators as an 8/5, and the tempered 1-7/6-11/8-8/5 chord is natural to orwell. Orwell has MOS of size 9, 13, 22 and 31. The 9-note MOS is small enough to be retained in the mind as a genuine scale, is pleasing melodically, and has considerable harmonic resources despite its absence of 5-limit triads. The 13 note MOS has those, and of course the 22 and 31 note MOS are very well supplied with everything. ===Vital statistics=== [[Comma|Commas]]: 225/224, 1728/1715 7-limit [|1 0 0 0>, |14/11 0 -7/11 7/11>, |27/11 0 3/11 -3/11>, |27/11 0 -8/11 8/11>] [[Fractional monzos|Eigenmonzos]]: 2, 7/5 9-limit [|1 0 0 0>, |21/17 14/17 -7/17 0>, |42/17 -6/17 3/17 0>, |41/17 16/17 -8/17 0>] [[Eigenmonzo|Eigenmonzos]]: 2, 10/9 [[POTE tuning|POTE generator]]: 271.509 Algebraic generators: Sabra3, the real root of 12x^3-7x-48.
