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.

A 13th-octave temperament can be described by temperament merging of edos whose greatest common divisor is 13. Although 13edo itself is not particularly accurate for low-complexity harmonics, some temperaments which are multiples of 13 are.

Aluminium

See also: Ragismic microtemperaments #Aluminium

Aluminium is named after the 13th element, and tempers out the [92 -39 -13 comma which sets 135/128 interval to be equal to 1/13th of the octave.

Subgroup: 2.3.5

Comma list: [92 -39 -13

Mapping: [13 0 92], 0 1 -3]]

Mapping generators: ~135/128, ~3

Optimal tuning (CTE): ~135/128 = 1\13, ~3/2 = 701.9897

Optimal ET sequence65, 299, 364, 429, 494, 559, 1053, 1612, 5889, 7501, 9113, 10725, 23062bc, 33787bcc, 44512bbcc

Badness (Sintel): 2.893

Tridecatonic

See also: Octagar temperaments #Tridecatonic, Ragismic microtemperaments #Trideci, and 26th-octave temperaments

Tridecatonic tempers out the devil's tridecalimma, the comma which associates the 10/9 minor tone with 2 steps of 13edo.

Subgroup: 2.3.5

Comma list: 2541865828329/2500000000000

Mapping: [13 21 31], 0 -1 -2]]

Mapping generators: ~531441/500000, ~3

Optimal tuning (CTE): ~531441/500000 = 1\13, ~3/2 = 701.2353

Optimal ET sequence26, 39, 65, 286, 351, 416, 481, 546

Badness (Sintel): 10.263
