1025/1024, the kilobytisma is a 41-limit (also 2.5.41 subgroup) superparticular unnoticeable comma of about 1.69 cents. It is the difference between 41/32 and 32/25, or 64/41 and 25/16.

Temperaments

Tempering out this comma in the full 41-limit results in the rank-12 kilobytismic temperament, or in the 2.5.41 subgroup, the rank-2 kilobytic temperament, generated by a very lightly tempered 5/4. Kilobytic is an incredibly efficient temperament on account of its low error combined with the very low complexity for the 5th and 41st harmonics (reached in +1 and -2 generators respectively).

Etymology

This comma was named by CompactStar in 2024. It refers to the kilobyte commonly being used as 210 or 1024 bytes (there is a competing definition which uses it as 1000 bytes, but the corresponding comma 1001/1000 already has several names).
