Breedsmic temperaments

Revision as of 20:17, 26 February 2026 by FloraC (talk | contribs) (Sort by badness)
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.

This page discusses miscellaneous rank-2 temperaments tempering out the breedsma (monzo[-5 -1 -2 4, ratio: 2401/2400). This is the amount by which two 49/40 intervals exceed 3/2, and by which two 60/49 intervals fall short. Either of these represent a neutral third interval which is highly characteristic of breedsmic tempering; any tuning system (12edo, for example) which does not possess a neutral third cannot be tempering out the breedsma.

The breedsma is also the amount by which four stacked 10/7 intervals exceed 25/6: 10000/2401 × 2401/2400 = 10000/2400 = 25/6, which is two octaves above the classic chromatic semitone, 25/24. We might note also that (49/40)(10/7) = 7/4 and (49/40)(10/7)2 = 5/2, relationships which will be significant in any breedsmic temperament. As a consequence of these facts, the 49/40~60/49 neutral third and the 7/5 and 10/7 intervals tend to have relatively low complexity in a breedsmic system.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:

Considered below are tertiaseptal, emmthird, hemififths, osiris, quasiorwell, quinmite, newt, unthirds, septidiasemi, subneutral, maviloid, lockerbie, neominor, catafourth, cotritone, fibo, quasimoha, mintone, gorgik, hemigoldis, and surmarvelpyth, in the order of increasing badness.

Tertiaseptal

Aside from the breedsma, tertiaseptal tempers out 65625/65536, the horwell comma, 703125/702464, the meter, and 2100875/2097152, the rainy comma. It can be described as the 31 & 171 temperament, and 256/245, 1029/1024 less than 21/20, serves as its generator. Three of these fall short of 8/7 by 2100875/2097152, and the generator can be taken as 1/3 of an 8/7 flattened by a fraction of a cent. 171edo makes for an excellent tuning, although 171edo - 31edo = 140edo also makes sense, and in very high limits 140edo + 171edo = 311edo is especially notable. The 15- or 16-note mos can be used to explore no-threes harmony, and the 31-note mos gives plenty of room for those as well.

Hemififths

Hemififths may be described as the 41 & 58 temperament, tempering out 5120/5103, the hemifamity comma, and 10976/10935, hemimage. It has a neutral third as a generator; its ploidacot is dicot. 99edo and 140edo provides good tunings, and 239edo an even better one; and other possible tunings are 160(1/25), giving just 5's, the 7- and 9-odd-limit minimax tuning, or 14(1/13), giving just 7's. It requires 25 generator steps to get to the class for the harmonic 5, whereas the 7 is half as complex, and hence hemififths makes for a good no-fives temperament, to which the 17- and 24-note mos are suited. The full force of this highly accurate temperament can be found using the 41-note mos or even the 34-note 2mos[clarification needed].

By adding 243/242 (which also means 441/440, 540/539 and 896/891) to the commas, hemififths extends to a less accurate 11-limit version, but one where 11/4 is only five generator steps. 99edo is an excellent tuning; one which loses little of the accuracy of the 7-limit but improves the 11-limit a bit. Now adding 144/143 brings in the 13-limit with less accuracy yet, but with very low complexity, as the generator can be taken to be 16/13. 99 remains a good tuning choice.

Quasiorwell

In addition to 2401/2400, quasiorwell tempers out the quasiorwellisma, 29360128/29296875 ([22 -1 -10 1). It has a generator 1024/875, which is 6144/6125 more than 7/6. It may be described as the 31 & 270 temperament, and as one might expect, 61\270 makes for an excellent tuning choice. Other possibilities are (7/2)1/8, giving just 7's, or 3841/38, giving pure fifths.

Adding 3025/3024 extends to the 11-limit and as expected, 270 remains an excellent tuning.

Unthirds

Despite the complexity of its mapping, unthirds is an important temperament to the structure of the 11-limit; this is hinted at by unthirds' representation as the 72 & 311 temperament, the join of two tuning systems well-known for their high accuracy in the 11-limit and 41-limit respectively. It is generated by the interval of 14/11 (undecimal major third, hence the name) tuned less than a cent flat, and the 23-note MOS this interval generates serves as a well temperament of, of all things, 23edo. The 49-note MOS is needed to access the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 11th harmonics, however.

The commas it tempers out include the breedsma (2401/2400), the lehmerisma (3025/3024), the pine comma (4000/3993), the unisquary comma (12005/11979), the argyria (41503/41472), and 42875/42768, all of which appear individually in various 11-limit systems. It is also notable that there is a restriction of the temperament to the 2.5/3.7/3.11/3 fractional subgroup that tempers out 3025/3024 and 12005/11979, which is of considerably less complexity, and which is shared with sqrtphi (whose generator is tuned flat of 72edo's).

Lockerbie

For the 5-limit version, see Miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments #Lockerbie.

Lockerbie can be described as the 103 & 270 temperament. Its generator is 120/77 or 77/60. An obvious tuning is given by 270edo, but 373edo and especially 643edo work as well.

The temperament derives its name from the Scottish town, where a flight numbered 103 crashed with 270 casualties, and the temperament is defined as 103 & 270, hence the name. The name is proposed by Eliora, who favours it due to simplicity, ease of pronunciation and relation to numbers 103 and 270.

Lockerbie also has a unique extension that adds the 41st harmonic such that the generator below 600 cents is also on the same step in 103 or 270 as 41/32, which means that 616/615 is tempered out.

Hemigoldis

For the 5-limit version, see Diaschismic–gothmic equivalence continuum #Goldis.

Though fairly complex in the 7-limit, hemigoldis does a lot better in badness metrics than pure 5-limit goldis, and yet again has many possible extensions to other primes. For example, two periods minus six generators yields a "tetracot second" which can be interpreted as ~21/19 to add prime 19 or perhaps more accurately ~31/28 to add prime 7, or even simply as ~32/29 to add prime 29, though the other two have the benefit of clearly connecting to the 7-limit representation. Note that again 89edo is a possible tuning for combining it with flat nestoria and not appearing in the optimal ET sequence.
