10th-octave temperaments

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

10edo is notable for having close approximations of 15/14 to one step, and 13/8 to 7 steps. 10th-octave temperaments naturally occur between any equal divisions of the octave whose greatest common divisor is 10.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include: decoid, deca, decal, decimetra, decistearn, and decavish.

Linus (rank-3)

Tempering out the linus comma, 578509309952 / 576650390625 = [11 -10 -10 10 leads a number of regular temperaments, some of which are listed above. Linus rank three temperament can be described as the 130 & 190 & 270 temperament, which tempers out 9801/9800 and 391314/390625 in the 11-limit; 1001/1000, 4225/4224, and 4459/4455 in the 13-limit. The 1/10-octave period interval represents 15/14, three of which represents 16/13, and five of which represents both 99/70 and 140/99.
