Semaphore and godzilla: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

'''Semaphore''', of the [[Slendro clan]], is characterized by [[49/48]] being tempered out, so the generator represents [[8/7]] and [[7/6]] equally. This results in a very low [[complexity]] 2.3.7 [[temperament]], with the drawback that most intervals of 7 must be out of tune by at least half of the comma 49/48, or about 18 [[cent]]s. Semaphore is a play on the words "semi-" and "fourth."

If the 5th harmonic's intervals are desired, 5/4 can be sensibly mapped to −8 [[generator]]s by [[tempering out]] [[81/80]], making it a [[Meantone family#~~Godzilla~~|meantone temperament]]. This temperament is called '''Godzilla'''. A more accurate but complex mapping of 5 can be found in [[immunity]], or 5/4 itself can be made the period by tempering out [[128/125]], resulting in [[triforce]].

If the 5th harmonic's intervals are desired, 5/4 can be sensibly mapped to −8 [[generator]]s by [[tempering out]] [[81/80]], making it a [[Meantone family#Extensions|meantone temperament]].
