Augene is a regular temperament of the augmented family, which means that 128/125 is tempered out and three 5/4's make a 2/1. Augene is distinguished from its relative august by tempering out 64/63, which means that tunings in which the fifth is larger than 7\12 (700 cents) are optimal. Therefore the optimal ET sequence of augene goes 12, 15, 27, … in constrast to august's which goes 9, 12, 21, ….

It is also the unique 7-limit regular temperament that tempers out the essential tempering commas of the 5 (128/125)- and 7-limit (64/63, 126/125).

The first few augene mos scales are 3L 3s, 3L 6s, 3L 9s, 12L 3s, … and the first edos that reasonably support augene are 12edo, 15edo, and especially 27edo.
