Sixix tunings (with generator a supraminor third sharper than 5\18 and flatter than 9\32) have step ratios between 5/4 and 3/2.  
Sixix tunings (with generator a supraminor third sharper than 5\18 and flatter than 9\32) have step ratios between 5/4 and 3/2. (Some tunings of smitonic sharper than 9\32, such as [[39edo]], do nominally support sixix but aren't very in tune and are more equalized.)


Sixix can be considered "meantone smitonic". This is because sixix tunings share the following features with [[meantone]] diatonic tunings:

[[Orgone]] tunings (with generator a minor third sharper than 4\15 and flatter than 3\11) have step ratios between 2/1 and 3/1. It nominally approximates the 2.7.11 subgroup, on which the [[26edo]] tuning is pretty much optimal. The large step approximates [[8/7]], and the major smifourth (2 large steps + 1 small step) approximates [[11/8]].
