[[Hypohard]] oneirotonic tunings (with generator between 5\13 and 7\18) have step ratios between 2/1 and 3/1.  


Hypohard oneirotonic can be considered "meantone oneirotonic". This is because these tunings share the following features with [[meantone]] diatonic tunings:

Hyposoft oneirotonic tunings (with generator between 8\21 and 5\13) have step ratios between 3/2 and 2/1. The 8\21-to-5\13 range of oneirotonic tunings remains relatively unexplored. In these tunings,

* the large step of oneirotonic tends to be intermediate in size between [[10/9]] and [[11/10]]; the small step size is a semitone close to [[17/16]], about 92¢ to 114¢.

Oneirotonic tunings of step ratio between 6/5 and 3/2 equate three oneirotonic large steps to a diatonic perfect fourth, i.e. they equate the oneirotonic large step to a [[porcupine]] generator. [This identification may come in handy since many altered oneirotonic modes have three consecutive large steps.]
Oneirotonic tunings of step ratio between 6/5 and 3/2 (thus in the [[supersoft]] to [[ultrasoft]] range) equate three oneirotonic large steps to a diatonic perfect fourth, i.e. they equate the oneirotonic large step to a [[porcupine]] generator. [This identification may come in handy since many altered oneirotonic modes have three consecutive large steps.]


The sizes of the generator, large step and small step of oneirotonic are as follows in various tunings in this range.
