== Vulture ==

The generator of the vulture temperament is a grave fourth of [[320/243]], that is, a [[4/3|perfect fourth]] minus a [[81/80|syntonic comma]]. Four of these make a [[3/1|perfect twelfth]]. Its [[ploidacot]] is alpha-tetracot. It is in the [[schismic–Mercator equivalence continuum]] with ''n'' = 4, so unless [[53edo]] is used as a tuning, the [[schisma]] is always observed.

It is a member of the [[syntonic–diatonic equivalence continuum]] with {{nowrap|''n'' {{=}} 4}}, so it equates a [[256/243|Pythagorean limma]] with a stack of four syntonic commas.

== Septimal vulture ==

Septimal vulture can be described as the {{nowrap| 53 & 270 }} microtemperament, tempering out the [[ragisma]], 4375/4374 and the [[garischisma]], 33554432/33480783 ({{monzo| 25 -14 0 -1 }}) aside from the vulture comma. [[270edo]] is a good tuning for this temperament, with generator 107\270. The harmonic 7 is found at -14 fifths or {{nowrap| (-14) × 4 {{=}} -56 }} generator steps, so that the smallest mos scale that includes it is the 58-note one, though for larger scope of harmony, you could try the 111- or 164-note one. For a much simpler mapping of 7 at the cost of higher error, you could try [[#Buzzard|buzzard]].

It can be extended to the 11-limit by identifying a stack of four [[5/4]]'s as [[11/9]], tempering out [[5632/5625]], and to the 13-limit by identifying the hemitwelfth as [[26/15]], tempering out [[676/675]]. Furthermore, the generator of vulture is very close to [[25/19]]; a stack of three generator steps octave-reduced thus represents its fifth complement, [[57/50]]. This corresponds to tempering out [[1216/1215]] with the effect of equating the schisma with [[513/512]] and [[361/360]] in addition to many 11- and 13-limit commas. 270edo remains an excellent tuning in all cases.
