'''Detempering''' is the process of taking a tempered pitch system and replacing each of its pitches with a nearby [[JI]] pitch. Ideally the resultant JI pitch system will have low [[prime limit]] and a compact lattice. | '''Detempering''' is the process of taking a tempered pitch system and replacing each of its pitches with a nearby [[JI]] pitch.
