Sensamagic clan

The sensamagic clan tempers out the sensamagic comma, 245/243, a triprime comma with no factors of 2, ⟨0 -5 1 2] to be exact. Tempering out 245/243 alone in the full 7-limit leads to a rank-3 temperament, sensamagic, for which 283edo is the optimal patent val.

BPS

The BPS, for Bohlen–Pierce–Stearns, is the 3.5.7 subgroup temperament tempering out 245/243. This subgroup temperament was formerly called the lambda temperament, which was named after the lambda scale.

Subgroup: 3.5.7

Comma list: 245/243

Sval mapping: [⟨1 1 2], ⟨0 -2 1]]

Sval mapping generators: ~3, ~9/7

Optimal tuning (POTE): ~3 = 1\1edt, ~9/7 = 440.4881

Optimal ET sequence: b4, b9, b13, b56, b69, b82, b95

Overview to extensions

The full 7-limit extensions' relation to BPS is clearer if the mapping is normalized in terms of 3.5.7.2. In fact, the strong extensions are

• #Sensi
• #Cohemiripple
• Hedgehog, {50/49, 245/243} → Porcupine family
• Fourfives, {245/243, 235298/234375} → Fifive family

The others are weak extensions. See

• Father, {16/15, 28/27} → Father family
• Sidi, {25/24, 245/243} → Dicot family
• Godzilla, {49/48, 81/80} → Meantone family
• Superpyth, {64/63, 245/243} → Archytas clan
• Hemiaug, {128/125, 245/243} → Augmented family
• Magic, {225/224, 245/243} → Magic family
• Rodan, {245/243, 1029/1024} → Gamelismic clan

Sensi

Main article: Sensi

See also: Sensipent family § Sensi

Sensi tempers out 126/125, 686/675 and 4375/4374 in addition to 245/243, and can be described as the 19 & 27 temperament. It has as a generator half the size of a slightly wide major sixth, which gives an interval sharp of 9/7 and flat of 13/10, both of which can be used to identify it, as 2.3.5.7.13 sensi (sensation) tempers out 91/90. 22/17, in the middle, is even closer to the generator. 46edo is an excellent sensi tuning, and mos scales of 8-, 11-, 19- and 27-tones are available. The name "sensi" is a play on the words "semi-" and "sixth."

Pycnic

See also: High badness temperaments § Stump

The fifth of pycnic in size is a meantone fifth, but four of them are not used to reach 5. This has the effect of making the Pythagorean major third, nominally 81/64, very close to 5/4 in tuning, being a cent sharp of it in the POTE tuning for instance. Pycnic has mos of size 9, 11, 13, 15, 17… which contain these alternative thirds, leading to two kinds of major triads, an official one and a nominally Pythagorean one which is actually in better tune.

For the 5-limit version of this temperament, see High badness temperaments #Magus.

Magus temperament tempers out 50331648/48828125 (salegu) in the 5-limit. This temperament can be described as 46 & 49 temperament, which tempers out the sensamagic and 28672/28125 (sazoquingu). The alternative extension amigo (43 & 46) tempers out the same 5-limit comma as the magus, but with the starling comma (126/125) rather than the sensamagic tempered out.
