Miscellaneous 7-limit temperaments

Revision as of 07:23, 29 November 2025 by FloraC (talk | contribs) (Move linus here)
This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

Below are listed some 7-limit rank-3 temperaments that do not belong to some other temperament collection, the majority of which are restrictions to the 7-limit of temperaments that emerge more fully in higher limits or subgroups; they are sorted by TE logflat badness. Most of these temperaments have low accuracy, high-complexity generators, or large number of generators for simple consonances. This is not an exhaustive list. Only expect to find a temperament here if you have not found it in:

Badness (Sintel): 0.661

Uniwiz

For extensions, see Keenanismic temperaments #Uniwiz.

Uniwiz tempers out the uniwiz comma in the 7-limit, equating the whole tone with a stack of four septimal quartertones of 36/35, and splits the octave in two. This means the quartertone should be sharpened a bit, leading to the natural 11-limit extension where 385/384 and 9801/9800 are tempered out.

Badness (Sintel): 3.11

Mirwomo

For extensions, see Rastmic rank-3 clan #Mirwomo.

Mirwomo tempers out the mirwomo comma in the 7-limit, equating the Pythagorean apotome with a stack of two septimal quartertones of 36/35, and splits the fifth in two. This means the fifth should be flattened a bit and the quartertone should be sharpened, leading to a natural 11-limit extension where 243/242 and 385/384 are tempered out.

Badness (Sintel): 5.00

Parahemif

For extensions, see Rastmic rank-3 clan #Parahemif.

Parahemif tempers out the parahemif comma in the 7-limit, equating a Pythagorean apotome with a stack of two septimal third-tones of 28/27, and splits the fifth in two. It also equates the large septimal diesis of 49/48 with the Pythagorean comma. This means the fifth should be tuned sharp and the septimal third-tone should be flattened to a somewhat large quartertone which can be used as the undecimal quartertone of 33/32, leading to a natural 11-limit extension where 243/242 and 896/891 are tempered out.
