32nd-octave temperaments

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

These are temperaments with period 1/32 of an octave.

32edo is a wasteland as far as LCJI is concerned, but some of its multiples are good at harmonics, and thus can produce temperaments with period of 1/32 of an octave.

Windrose

The temperament is called windrose because there are 32 cardinal directions commonly assigned to a compass rose. It is defined as the 608 & 1600 temperament. The maximal evenness pattern created inside the period is a 12L 7s, if mapped to a keyboard, which has a 2/3 step ratio and thus offers elegant microtempering that plays with the just noticeable difference.

Germanium

It is named after germanium, the 32nd element, defined as 224 & 1376. It tempers out 3025/3024, 4096/4095, 4375/4374 and 9801/9800 in the 13-limit, although it should be noted that if only these commas are taken, they make a rank-3 1/2-octave temperament called rym. Thus germanium is a tempering of rym.

Dike

Defined as the 2016dijk & 1600 temperament, since the warts on the val spell out the Dutch word for dike, dijk.
