54edo: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

It's a rare temperament which adds better approximations of the 11th and 15th harmonics from [[27edo]], which it doubles. 54edo contains an alternate (flat) mapping of the fifth and an "extreme bayati" 6 6 10 10 2 10 10 diatonic scale.

It is the highest [[EDO]] in which the best mappings of the major 3rd ([[5/4]]) and harmonic 7th ([[7/4]]), 17\54 and 44\54, are exactly 600 cents apart, making them suitable for harmonies using tritone substitutions. The 54cd val makes for an excellent tuning of 7-limit [[Augmented_family#Hexe|hexe temperament]], while the bdf val does higher limit [[Magic family #Muggles|muggles]] about as well as it can be tuned.

It is the highest [[EDO]] in which the best mappings of the major 3rd ([[5/4]]) and harmonic 7th ([[7/4]]), 17\54 and 44\54, are exactly 600 cents apart, making them suitable for harmonies using tritone substitutions. In other words, this is the last EDO tempering out [[50/49]]. The 54cd val makes for an excellent tuning of 7-limit [[Augmented_family#Hexe|hexe temperament]], while the bdf val does higher limit [[Magic family #Muggles|muggles]] about as well as it can be tuned.

Using the patent val, 54edo tempers out [[2048/2025]] in the 5-limit.
