'''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."
'''Semaphore''', of the [[slendro clan]], is characterized by [[49/48]] being [[tempering out|tempered out]], so the [[generator]] represents [[8/7]] and [[7/6]] equally. This results in a very low [[complexity]] 2.3.7-[[subgroup]] [[regular temperament|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#Extensions|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 [[5/1|5th harmonic]]'s intervals are desired, [[5/4]] can be sensibly mapped to −8 generators by tempering out [[81/80]], making it a [[Meantone family #Extensions|meantone temperament]].

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]].

Like supra[7], godzilla[9] is well stocked with subminor and supermajor triads; in this case they can be viewed as 6:7:9 and 10:13:15 since 19edo is a [[The_Biosphere|biome]] temperament. Godzilla[9] has only ''one'' each of the more stable 5-limit major and minor triads, which might be considered a drawback, but could also be considered a strength for helping to establish a clearer tonal center (since all triads other than the tonic have tension in them).
