[[Slendric]] | '''Possible alternative names: wonder, slendmatic, slendmatical, slendrian, slendresque, gamelike, gamelesque, gamelike''' | ||
[[Slendric]] is a 5&36 temperament which has quite little in common with real slendro scales. | |||
R.M.A. Koesoemadinata found that the temperament most similar to slendro scales is 9&17, i.e. [[bleu]] temperament. So bleu is the only temperament that could almost get away with being called "slendric". | R.M.A. Koesoemadinata found that the temperament most similar to slendro scales is 9&17, i.e. [[bleu]] temperament.

The original name for 5&36 was "wonder temperament". I’d like to see it change it back to that. I like “wonder”. | The original name for 5&36 was "wonder temperament". I’d like to see it change it back to that. I like “wonder”. | ||

[[Biyatismic]] temperament is inspired by maqam biyati, so it is good that it references that in the name. What's not good is that the name makes it sound like it is the exact same thing as maqam biyati. The name makes it sound like the temperament generates the original, traditional maqam biyati. Which is not the case. | [[Biyatismic]] temperament is inspired by maqam biyati, so it is good that it references that in the name.

Biyatismic temperament would score 5 stars instead of 1 if it were named something that better communicated "this is not the same thing as maqam biyati, but it was inspired by maqam biyati". | Biyatismic temperament would score 5 stars instead of 1 if it were named something that better communicated "this is not the same thing as maqam biyati, but it was inspired by maqam biyati". | ||

At least unlike slendric, the [[pelogic]] temperament ''does'' actually resemble an Indonesian [[pelog]] scale, which is why it doesn’t get 1 star. | At least unlike slendric, the [[pelogic]] temperament ''does'' actually resemble an Indonesian [[pelog]] scale, which is why it doesn’t get 1 star. | ||

[[Srutal]] temperament and its [[Diaschismic family|siblings]] are audibly quite close to the [[Indian]] shruti system, so it is good that they give credit to that inspiration in the title. | |||
The issue with these names, is that they are so similar to the word “shruti”, that they imply the tuning is ''identical'' to traditional Indian shruti. Which it is not. These tunings are inspired by shruti, and sound close to shruti, but they are not the ''same'' as shruti. | |||
