'''Semaphore''', of the [[Slendro clan]], is characterized by the vanishing of [[49/48]], so the generator represents [[8/7]] and [[7/6]] equally. This results in a very low [[complexity]] 2.3.7 [[temperament]], with the drawback that most intervals of 7 must be out of tune by at least half of the comma 49/48, or about 18 [[cent]]s. Semaphore is a play on the words "semi-" and "fourth." | |||
If 5 is mapped at all, it can be sensibly mapped to -8 [[generator]]s by [[tempering out]] [[81/80]], making it a [[Meantone family #Godzilla|meantone temperament]]. This temperament is called '''godzilla'''. | |||

Like supra[7], godzilla[9] is well stocked with subminor and supermajor triads; in this case they can be viewed as 6:7:9 and 10:13:15 since 19edo is a [[The_Biosphere|biome]] temperament. Godzilla[9] has only ''one'' each of the more stable 5-limit major and minor triads, which might be considered a drawback, but could also be considered a strength for helping to establish a clearer tonal center (since all triads other than the tonic have tension in them). | Like supra[7], godzilla[9] is well stocked with subminor and supermajor triads; in this case they can be viewed as 6:7:9 and 10:13:15 since 19edo is a [[The_Biosphere|biome]] temperament.

One can think of godzilla[9] modes as being built from two pentachords (division of the perfect fourth into four intervals) plus a whole tone. The possible pentachords are LsLs, sLLs, and sLsL. | One can think of godzilla[9] modes as being built from two pentachords (division of the perfect fourth into four intervals) plus a whole tone.
