Smate family

Revision as of 10:43, 27 February 2025 by Jerdle (talk | contribs) (Discussed the link to skwares.)

The smate family of temperaments tempers out 2048/1875, the smate comma, resulting in equation of four just major thirds (5/4) with the just perfect eleventh (8/3). It therefore requires an extremely sharp tuning of the just major third. 17edo and 20edo provide it and make for good tunings.

These temperaments resemble skwares, which also splits 8/3 into four major thirds, but those major thirds are flattish 9/7s rather than the sharp 5/4s used here.
