Revision as of 03:14, 23 October 2024
The syntonic-chromatic equivalence continuum is a continuum of 5-limit temperaments which equate a number of syntonic commas (81/80) with the apotome (2187/2048). This continuum is theoretically interesting in that these are all 5-limit temperaments supported by 7edo.
All temperaments in the continuum satisfy (81/80)n ~ 2187/2048. Varying n results in different temperaments listed in the table below. It converges to meantone as n approaches infinity. If we allow non-integer and infinite n, the continuum describes the set of all 5-limit temperaments supported by 7edo due to it being the unique equal temperament that tempers out both commas and thus tempers out all combinations of them. The just value of n is 5.2861…, and temperaments near this tend to be the most accurate ones.
2187/2048 is the characteristic 3-limit comma tempered out in 7edo, and has many advantages as a target. In each case, n equals the order of harmonic 5 in the corresponding comma, and equals the number of steps to obtain the interval class of harmonic 3 in the generator chain. For example:
- Mavila (n = 1) is generated by a fifth;
- Dicot (n = 2) splits its fifth in two;
- Porcupine (n = 3) splits its fourth in three;
- Etc.
At n = 7, the corresponding temperament splits the octave into seven instead, as after a stack of seven syntonic commas, both the orders of 3 and 5 are multiples of 7 again.
If we let k = n − 2 so that k = 0 means n = 2, k = −1 means n = 1, etc. then the continuum corresponds to (81/80)k = 25/24. Some prefer this way of conceptualising it because:
- 25/24 is the classic chromatic semitone, notable in the 5-limit as the difference between 5/4 and 6/5, so this shifted continuum could also logically be termed the "syntonic-chromatic equivalence continuum". This means that at k = 0, 5/4 and 6/5 are mapped to the same interval while 81/80 becomes independent of 25/24 (meaning 81/80 may or may not be tempered) because the relation becomes (81/80)0 ~ 1/1 ~ 25/24.
- k = 1 and upwards up to a point represent temperaments with the potential for reasonably good accuracy as equating at least one 81/80 with 25/24 seems like a good lower bound for a temperament intended to model JI. A good upper bound might be gravity (k = 4), with the only exception being meantone (n = k = ∞). Temperaments corresponding to k = 0, −1, −2... are comparatively low-accuracy to the point of developing various intriguing structures and consequences.
- 25/24 is the simplest ratio to be tempered in the continuum, the second simplest being 81/80 at unsigned infinity, which together are the two smallest 5-limit superparticular intervals and the only superparticular intervals in the continuum.

Enipucrop
Enipucrop corresponds to n = 3/2 and m = 3, and can be described as the 6b & 7 temperament. Its name is porcupine spelled backwards, because that is what this temperament is–it is porcupine, with the generator sharp of 2\7 such that the major and minor thirds switch places. The fifths are very flat, meaning that this is more of a melodic temperament than a harmonic one.

Seville
Seville is similar to sevond, but provides a less complex avenue to 5, but this time at the cost of accuracy. One generator from 5\7 puts you at ~3/2, and one generator from 2\7 puts you at ~5/4. This corresponds to n = 7/3 and m = 7/4.

Deeptone a.k.a. tragicomical
Deeptone is generated by a fifth, which is typically sharper than in 7edo but flatter than in flattone. The ~5/4 is reached by eleven fifths octave-reduced, which is an augmented third (C–E♯).

Shallowtone
- For 7-limit extensions, see Mint temperaments #Shallowtone.
Shallowtone is generated by a fifth, which is typically sharper than in mavila but flatter than in 7edo. The ~5/4 is reached by minus ten fifths octave-reduced, which is an augmented third (C-E𝄪) in melodic antidiatonic notation and a diminished third (C-E𝄫) in harmonic antidiatonic notation.
