Cloudy clan

Revision as of 08:55, 25 June 2026 by FloraC (talk | contribs) (Switch to Sintel's badness, WE & CWE tunings (1/))
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.

The cloudy clan tempers out the cloudy comma, 16807/16384, thus splitting the octave into 5 equal parts and mapping the harmonic 7 to 4\5.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere are:

Decic

Main article: Decic

Named by Xenllium in 2021, decic tempers out the cloudy comma, 16807/16384 and the marvel comma, 225/224 in the 7-limit, as well as the linus comma, [11 -10 -10 10⟩. It maybe described as the 50 & 60 temperament, supported by 10-, 50-, and 60edo. It can be extended naturally to the 11-, 13-, and 17-limit by adding 385/384, 105/104, and 170/169 to the comma list in this order.
