Escapade family

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

An image of the tuning spectrum of 2.3.5.11 escapade, in terms of the generator; EDO patent val tunings are marked with vertical lines whose length indicates the EDO's tolerance, i.e. half of its step size in either direction of just, and some small EDOs supporting the temperament are labeled.

The escapade family tempers out the escapade comma, [32 -7 -9⟩, of size 9.492 cents. The defining feature of this comma is splitting 5/3 into sixteen quartertones of which 5/4 makes up seven and 4/3 makes up nine; therefore 16/15 is two generator steps. It most naturally manifests as a 2.3.5.11 subgroup temperament, tempering out 4000/3993 and 5632/5625.

Extensions of escapade to incorporate prime 7 (and therefore the full 11-limit) include escapist (21 & 22), tempering out 225/224 and mapping 7 to −4 generators; escaped (22 & 87), tempering out 245/243 and mapping 7 to −26 generators; alphaquarter (65d & 87), tempering out 5120/5103 and mapping 7 to 61 generators; septisuperfourth (aka biscapade) (22 & 86), tempering out 6144/6125, splitting the octave in half and mapping 7 to −15 generators; and arch (43 & 87), tempering out 3136/3125 and splitting the generator into two 64/63 intervals; all are considered below.

2.3.5.11 subgroup

Since (an ideally slightly flat) 4/3 is split in three by the interval of 3 generators, it makes sense to equate that interval to 11/10 by tempering out 4000/3993, and therefore the generator to (11/10)/(16/15) = 33/32; this does minimal damage to the temperament. This structure in 2.3.5.11 occurs in all extensions of escapade to include prime 7, and therefore will be considered the fount of all further extensions.

2.3.5.11.31 subgroup

One may also note that the generator represents the square root of 16/15 and therefore it would be logical to temper out S31 = 961/960 so that the generator is equated to 32/31 ~ 31/30 in addition to 33/32.

Escapist

Return to the map

This temperament makes the identification of the 4-generator interval, representing (16/15)², with 8/7 by tempering out 225/224 (along with 12288/12005); however, this is somewhat inaccurate as the ~16/15 in escapade is slightly flat, while for a good marvel tuning it needs to be tempered sharpward to equate it with 15/14.

Escaped

Return to the map

This temperament was also known as "sensa" in earlier materials because it tempers out 245/243, 352/351, and 385/384 as a sensamagic temperament. Not to be confused with the 19e & 27 temperament (sensi extension).

Here, 245/243 is tempered out so that 9/7 is equated to the square root of 5/3 (at 8 generators) present in the temperament. This works best where 5/3 is slightly flat, therefore on the end of the spectrum approaching 22edo.

Alphaquarter

Return to the map

Given the slightly sharp ~3/2 in ideal tunings of escapade (between 65edo and 87edo), it does very little damage to temper out 5120/5103 to extend it to the 7-limit; the cost is that the harmonic 7 is exceedingly complex, located all the way at 61 generators up.
