It also tempers out 2048/2025 in the 5-limit, and [[50/49|50/49]] with [[64/63|64/63]] in the [[7-limit|7-limit]], which means it [[support]]s [[Diaschismic_family|pajara temperament]], with a very sharp fifth of 712.5 cents which could be experimented with by those with a penchant for fifths even sharper than the fifth of [[27edo|27edo]]; this fifth is in fact very close to the minimax tuning of the pajara extension [[Diaschismic_family#Pajara-Pajaro|pajaro]], using the 32f val. In the 11-limit it provides the optimal patent val for the 15&32 temperament, tempering out 55/54, 64/63 and 245/242.

The sharp fifth of 32edo can be used to generate a very unequal [[oceanfront]] diatonic scale, with a diatonic semitone of 5 steps and a chromatic semitone of only 1. The "major third" (which can sound like both a major third and a flat fourth depending on context) is an interseptimal interval of 450¢, approximating [[13/10]], and the minor third is 262.5¢, approximating [[7/6]]. Because of the unequalness of the scale, the gaps between many intervals like the major second and minor third is reduced to a fifth-tone, but it still strongly resembles "normal" diatonic music, especially in minor ~~key~~.

Because of the unequalness of the scale, the gaps between many intervals like the major second and minor third is reduced to a fifth-tone, but it still strongly resembles "normal" diatonic music, especially for minor scales.

Since 32edo is poor at approximating primes and it is a high power of 2, both traditional [[RTT]] and temperament-agnostic [[MOS]] theory are of limited usefulness in the system (though it has [[ultrasoft]] [[smitonic]] with L/s = 5/4). 32edo's 5:2:1 [[blackdye]] scale (1525152515), which is melodically comparable to [[31edo]]'s 5:2:1 [[diasem]], is notable for having 412.5¢ neogothic major thirds and 450¢ naiadics in place of the traditional 5-limit and Pythagorean major thirds in 5-limit blackdye, and the 75¢ semitone in place of 16/15. The 712.5¢ sharp fifth and the 675¢ flat fifth correspond to 3/2 and [[40/27]] in 5-limit blackdye, making 5:2:1 blackdye a [[dual-fifth]] scale.
