Fractional-octave temperaments

Revision as of 16:34, 25 October 2022 by Eliora (talk | contribs) (→Ruthenium)

All temperaments on this page have a fractional-octave period, such as 1\26, 1\31, or 1\41.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:

14th-octave temperaments

While 14edo is poor in simple harmonics, some of its multiples (such as 224edo and 742edo) are members of zeta edo list.

Silicon

The name of silicon temperament comes from the 14th element. Defined upwards to the 13-limit. When tuned in 742edo, it is generated by a 53edo fifth intermingled with 14edo periods.

37th-octave temperaments

37edo is accurate for harmonics 5, 7, 11, and 13, so various 37th-octave temperaments actually make sense.

56th-octave temperaments

Barium

One step of 56edo is close to a syntonic comma. Named after the 56th element, barium tempers out the [-225 224 -56⟩ comma, which sets 56 syntonic commas equal to the octave. It can be expressed as the 224 & 2072 temperament.

Mercury

Defined as 720 & 1600, and named after the 80th element, because a simpler temperament is already named octogintic.
