Rodan is a temperament of the gamelismic clan and one of the notable extensions to slendric. Like slendric, it is generated by an 8/7, three of which gives 3/2. In addition it finds harmonic 5 at +17 generator steps, and the second defining comma for it is 245/243.

Reasonable tunings would be between 41edo and 46edo. 87edo makes for a very recommendable option.

See Gamelismic clan #Rodan for more information.

Notation

A notation for rodan is listed in the notation guide for rank-2 pergens under pergen #8, (P8, P5/3). The generator is an upmajor 2nd. The enharmonic unison is a trudminor 2nd, thus three ups equals a diatonic semitone, and three generators equals a perfect 5th. In rodan in particular, ^1 equals ~81/80 and ~64/63, and ^^1 equals ~33/32 and ~1053/1024.

Rodan nomenclature
for selected intervals
Ratio Nominal Example
3/2 Perfect fifth C−G
5/4 Downmajor third C−vE
7/4 Downminor seventh C−vB♭
11/8 Dup fourth C−^^F
13/8 Dupminor sixth C−^^A♭

Rodan's notation has much in common with that for 41edo and 46edo, since both edos map a minor 2nd to three edosteps. It also resembles the notation for cassandra. All four notations notate the slendric tetrad (1 – 8/7 – 21/16 – 3/2) on C as C, ^D, vF, G, med, and all four notations notate 5/4, 7/4, 11/8, and 13/8 as in the table above. But the notations diverge for other intervals, such as 11/10.
