Revision as of 21:45, 1 June 2021

The magic family of temperaments tempers out 3125/3072, the small diesis or magic comma. A magic temperament is optimal, for some searches, in the 9-odd-limit. It has slightly higher complexity than meantone and is also closer to just intonation. It is the simplest rank-2 temperament that tunes every 9-odd-limit interval better than is possible in 12EDO. Properties may depend on tuning and extension.

The most prominent deficiency of magic temperaments is that they lack proper or nearly-proper MOS scales in the 5 to 10 note "diatonic" region.

Five limit magic

The 5-limit parent comma for the magic family is 3125/3072, the small diesis or magic comma. Its monzo is [-10 -1 5, and flipping that yields ⟨⟨ 5 1 -10 ]] for the wedgie. This tells us the generator is a major third, and that to get to the interval class of fifths will require five of these. In fact, (5/4)5 = 3 × 3125/3072. 13\41 is a highly recommendable generator, though 19\60, the optimal patent val generator, also makes a lot of sense and using 19EDO or 22EDO is always possible.

Seven-limit extensions

The second comma of the normal comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. 875/864, the keemic comma, gives magic, and 525/512, Avicenna's enharmonic diesis, gives his annoying brother muggles. Both use the major third as a generator.

Magic

Magic tempers out not only 3125/3072 and 875/864, but also 225/224, 245/243, and 10976/10935. 41EDO is a good magic tuning, and 19 or 22 note MOS are possible scales. Five major thirds approximate 3/1. Twelve major thirds, less an octave, approximate 7/1.

Magic, with its accurate fifths, works well with 9-odd-limit harmony. It is more accurate than meantone and simpler than garibaldi. It is a little tricky to work with because in its fifths are a relatively complex interval and it does not naturally work with scales of around seven notes to the octave.

225/224 is the marvel comma. Because the augmented triad is the simplest triad in magic temperaments, it is especially significant in magic temperament.

245/243, the sensamagic comma, leads to another essentially tempered 9-odd-limit triad with two thirds approximating 9/7 and the other 6/5. It also divides the approximate 3/2 into two steps of 7/6 and one of 10/9.

By adding 100/99 to the list of commas, magic can be extended to an 11-limit version, ⟨⟨ 5 1 12 -8 … ]]. For this, 104EDO provides an excellent tuning, as it does also for the rank-3 temperaments tempering out 100/99 with 225/224, 245/243 or 875/864. Septimage (see below) is also an excellent 11-limit magic tuning.

11-limit

Tempering 100/99 allows for a tritone substitution where the extended 5-limit tuning of a dominant seventh with a 9/5 above the root shares its tritone with an 8:10:11:12:16 chord rooted on the seventh of the original chord. (The tritone of the dominant seventh is (9/5)/(5/4) = 36/25. (16/11)/(36/25) = 100/99.)
