{{Todo|clarify|inline=1|text=What is a "formal prime" in tempered interval space, and how is it distinct from a generator?}}
A '''generator tuning map''' is like a (temperament) tuning map, but each entry gives the size in cents or octaves of a different [[generator]], rather than of a [[formal prime]].

It may be helpful, then, to think of the units of each entry of a generator tuning map as <math>{\large\mathsf{¢}}\small /𝗴</math> (read "cents per generator"), <math>\small \mathsf{oct}/𝗴</math> (read "octaves per generator"), or any other logarithmic pitch unit per generator.

To go the other way — that is, to find the generator tuning map from the (primes) tuning map — we can multiply the tuning map by any right-inverse of the mapping, such as the [[pseudoinverse]] ''M''<sup>+</sup>, as in
