In terms of traditional chord types, that is, as a variant of meantone stretched too far, which yields interesting but perhaps unsatisfying results (due mainly to the dissonance of its thirds, and its major seconds of either approximately [[10_9|10/9]] or [[8_7|8/7]], but NOT [[9_8|9/8]]). This is not meant to say that this approach is without merit. 2. As two parallel 13-EDO scales (And as I've considered, if these two chains be shifted together or apart slightly but appropriately, interesting variants may be constructed) which is suitable for more atonal melodies. In this way its internal dynamics quite resemble those of 14-EDO. 3. 26-EDO nearly perfectly approximates the 7th and 11th harmonics, and an entire system may be constructed analogous to that based on the 3rd and 5th harmonics. The resulting scale is jagged, and it perverts common musical rules and conventions, but this particular organisation has its charm -perhaps because of this- and leads to some intriguing music. - K. =Orgone Temperament= [[Andrew Heathwaite]] proposes a temperament family which takes advantage of 26edo's excellent 11 & 7 approximations. 7 degrees of 26edo is a wide minor third of approximately 323.077 cents, and that interval taken as a generator produces 7-tone and 11-tone MOS scales: The 7-tone scale in degrees-in-between: 5 2 5 2 5 2 5. [[MOSScales|MOS]] of type [[4L 3s|4L 3s (mish)]]. The 7-tone scale in cents: 0 231 323 554 646 877 969 1200. The 11-tone scale in degrees-in-between: 2 3 2 2 3 2 3 2 2 3 2. [[MOSScales|MOS]] of type [[4L 7s]]. The 11-tone scale in cents: 0 92 231 323 415 554 646 785 877 969 1108, 1200. 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. [[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. 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.
