Orwellismic 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.

The orwellismic family of rank-3 temperaments tempers out the orwellisma, 1728/1715.

Orwellismic

Orwellismic uses three ~7/6 generators to reach 8/5 while preserving the lattice structure of the 2.3.7 subgroup. Ideally, 7/6 and 5/4 are both tuned slightly sharp.

Subgroup: 2.3.5.7

Comma list: 1728/1715

Mapping: [⟨1 0 0 2], ⟨0 1 0 1], ⟨0 0 3 -1]]

mapping generators: ~2, ~3, ~12/7

Mapping to lattice: [⟨0 0 -3 1], ⟨0 1 0 1]]

Lattice basis:

7/6 length = 0.7526, 3/2 length = 1.3931

Angle (7/6, 3/2) = 97.5081

Minimax tuning:

• 7- and 9-odd-limit

[[1 0 0 0⟩, [0 1 0 0⟩, [3/2 3/4 3/4 -3/4⟩, [3/2 3/4 -1/4 1/4⟩]

unchanged-interval (eigenmonzo) basis: 2.3.7/5

Optimal ET sequence: 4, 5, 9, 17, 18, 22, 27, 31, 53, 80, 84, 111, 164d, 195d, 275d, 306d

Badness (Sintel): 0.826

Projection pair: ~5 = 1728/343 to 2.3.7

Scales: orwellismic9, orwellismic diatonic

Guanyin

Guanyin is the most natural 11-limit extension of orwellismic, where two ~7/6 generators make 15/11, tempering out 540/539, and two sharpened ~5/4's make 11/7, tempering out 176/175.

Subgroup: 2.3.5.7.11

Comma list: 176/175, 540/539

Mapping: [⟨1 0 0 2 -2], ⟨0 1 0 1 1], ⟨0 0 3 -1 5]]

Mapping to lattice: [⟨0 0 -3 1 -5], ⟨0 1 0 1 1]]

Lattice basis:

7/6 length = 0.5167, 3/2 length = 1.3055

Angle (7/6, 3/2) = 79.0940

Minimax tuning:

• 11-odd-limit

[[1 0 0 0 0⟩, [-2/9 0 -5/9 5/9 4/9⟩, [4/3 0 1/3 -1/3 1/3⟩, [4/3 0 -2/3 2/3 1/3⟩, [0 0 0 0 1⟩]

unchanged-interval (eigenmonzo) basis: 2.11.7/5

Optimal ET sequence: 22, 27e, 31, 53, 58, 80, 111, 280cd

Badness (Sintel): 0.494

Projection pairs: ~5 = 1728/343, ~11 = 186624/16807 to 2.3.7

Scales: guanyin22

Avalokita

This extension used to be known as georgian.

Orwellian

Orwellian is another 11-limit extension of orwellismic that tempers out 99/98, which is supported by 11-limit orwell.
