The primary triad for Orgone Temperament is 8:11:14 and its subharmonic inversion, which these scales have in abundance. 2g approximates [[16_11|16:11]] and 3g approximates [[7_4|7:4]] (and I would call that the definition of Orgone Temperament). That also implies that g approximates the difference between 7:4 and 16:11, which is 77:64, about 320.1 cents. | The primary triad for Orgone Temperament is 8:11:14 and its subharmonic inversion, which these scales have in abundance. 2g approximates [[16_11|16:11]] and 3g approximates [[7_4|7:4]] (and I would call that the definition of Orgone Temperament).

[[37edo]] is another excellent Orgone tuning. [[11edo]] is passable, but barely. If we take 11 and 26 to be the edges of the Orgone Spectrum, that suggests some other edos which can play Orgone: 11, 48, 37,63, 26. | [[37edo]] is another excellent Orgone tuning.

Orgone tempers out 65539/65219 = |16 0 0 -2 -3>, and has a minimax tuning which sharpens both 7 and 11 by 1/5 of this comma, or 1.679 cents.

If a name already exists for this temperament, I'd be interested to know about it. As far as I know, temperaments which ignore lower primes (in this case 3 and 5) in favor of higher ones (in this case 7 and 11) are still largely uncharted, but I am interested in finding out if someone has walked this path before. | If a name already exists for this temperament, I'd be interested to know about it.
