Another possible tuning uses a generator which is a pure 3/2 divided into 11 parts, and this makes the generator chain of sycamore exactly the same as [[Carlos Beta]]. In fact, Carlos Beta is characterized by Carlos as taking five steps to reach 6/5 and six to reach 5/4, which means it tempers out the sycamore comma. It can be described as the generator chain of sycamore, or sycamore can be called Carlos Beta with octaves.

==Seven limit children==  

===Septimal sycamore===  

The second element of the [[Normal lists|normal comma list]] for septimal sycamore is 875/864, the keema, and it also tempers out 686/675, the senga, and 3136/3125, hemimean. It has &lt;&lt;11 6 15 -16 -7 18|| for a wedgie, and may also be called the 19&amp;56 temperament. This may also be used as the name for the temperament obtained hy adding 100/99 to sycamore's commas, giving unidecimal sycamore, where 10 generator steps reaches 16/11, 11 reach 3/2, and 15 give 7/4, adding a considerable dose of 11-limit harmonies to the 19-note MOS. [[75edo]] is an excellent tuning for 7-limit sycamore, and [[56edo]] for the 11-limit version.

The dual of the monzo is the wedgie, &amp;lt;&amp;lt;11 6 -16||, which tells us that six chromatic semitone generators give 5/4 (and hence five 6/5) and eleven give 3/2. &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/94edo"&gt;94edo&lt;/a&gt; supports sycamore, and 5/94 is reommendable as a generator. It can be described as the 19&amp;amp;94 temperament, and uses a decidedly flat version of the chromatic semitone as a generator. MOS of 18 or 19 notes to the octave give enough room for sycamore's triads, but 37 notes can be tried by the adventurous.&lt;br /&gt;
