Tour of regular temperaments: Difference between revisions

Corrected the noca pergens so that the multigens are all 5-limit-no-twos ratios, analogous to 2.3.5 and 2.3.5.7 pergens using only 3-limit multigens. Fixed some typos in Procyon and Metric color names.

Corrected the nowa pergens so that the multigens are all 5-limit-no-threes ratios, analogous to 2.3.5 and 2.3.5.7 pergens using only 3-limit multigens. Sorted the families by pergen.

These are defined by a yaza nowa or 7-limit-no-threes comma. See also [[subgroup temperaments]]. The pergen's multigen (the 2nd term, omitting any fraction) is always a 5-limit-no-threes ratio such as 5/4, 8/5, 25/8, etc.


=== [[Jubilismic clan|Jubilismic or Biruyo Nowa clan]] (P8/2, M3) ===
=== [[Jubilismic clan|Jubilismic or Biruyo Nowa clan]] (P8/2, M3) ===
This clan tempers out the jubilisma, [[50/49]], which is the difference between 10/7 and 7/5. The M3 generator is ~5/4. The half-octave period is ~7/5 or ~10/7. 7/4 is equated to 1 period plus 1 generator.  
This clan tempers out the jubilisma, [[50/49]], which is the difference between 10/7 and 7/5. The generator is the nowa major 3rd = ~5/4. The half-octave period is ~7/5 or ~10/7. 7/4 is equated to 1 period plus 1 generator.

An obvious 5-limit interpretation of the generator is 16/15, leading to the [[miracle]] temperament, which is in the gamelismic clan.
This clan tempers out the [[rainy comma]], {{Monzo|-21 0 3 5}} = 2100875/2097152. The rurugu generator is ~256/245 = ~77¢. Three generators equals ~8/7 and five of them equals the nowa major 3rd = ~5/4.

This clan tempers out the quince, {{Monzo|-15 0 -2 7}} = 823543/819200. The trizo-agu generator is ~343/320 = ~116¢. Two generators equals ~8/7, five generators equals ~7/5, and seven generators equals the nowa minor 6th ~8/5. An obvious 5-limit interpretation of the generator is 16/15, leading to the [[miracle]] temperament, which is in the gamelismic clan.

These are defined by a yaza noca or 7-limit-no-twos comma. Any no-twos comma is a ratio of odd numbers. If no other commas are tempered out, It is a non-octave tuning, with a period of a perfect 12th or tritave, 3/1 (or some fraction of that). See also [[subgroup temperaments]].
