Semaphoresmic clan

The semaphoresmic clan (or semaphore family) tempers out the slendro diesis, or semaphoresma, 49/48, a triprime comma with factors of 2, 3 and 7.

Overview to extensions

The second comma of the comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at.

Godzilla adds 81/80. Immunity adds 2240/2187. Helayo adds 3645/3584. Superpelog adds 135/128. Beep adds 21/20. Baba adds 16/15. These all use the same nominal generator as semaphore, though some of them are of very low accuracy.

Decimal adds 25/24. Anguirus adds 2048/2025. Those split the octave in two. Negri adds 225/224, splitting the hemifourth in two. Triforce adds 128/125, splitting the octave in three. Keemun adds 126/125, splitting the hemitwelfth in three. Nautilus adds 250/243, splitting the hemifourth in three. Nuke is like nautilus, but adds 3584/3375 instead. Hemidim adds 648/625 with a 1/4-octave period. Blacksmith adds 28/27, splitting the octave in five. Spell adds 3125/3072, splitting the hemitwelfth in five. Hemiripple adds 6561/6250, splitting the hemifourth in five. Finally, semabila adds 28672/28125 and splits an interval of two octaves plus a hemifourth in five.

Godzilla

Deutsch

Main article: Semaphore and godzilla

Godzilla tempers out 81/80, equating 9/8 and 10/9, so it finds the prime 5 at a stack of four fifths, as does any temperament in the meantone family. 19edo is close to being the optimal generator tuning; hence it can be more or less equated with taking 4\19 as a generator. Mos scales are of 5, 9, or 14 notes.
