'''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.  
In [[regular temperament]] theory, '''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.  


It is a distinct concept from a [[Neji|quasi-equal rational tuning, or neji]], which takes the pitches directly from a mode of the harmonic series to approximate a tempered system.
