Alphatricot family

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
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 alphatricot family of temperaments tempers out the alphatricot comma (monzo: [39 -29 3⟩, ratio: 68 719 476 736 000 / 68 630 377 364 883).

Strong 7-limit extensions of this temperament include alphatrimot (53 & 70), alphatrident (53 & 229) and alphatrillium (53 & 441). Tempering out hemifamity comma (5120/5103) leads to alphatrimot, porwell comma (6144/6125) leads to alphatrident, and ragisma (4375/4374) leads to alphatrillium.

Alphatricot

Alphatricot is a microtemperament whose generator is the real cube root of the 3rd harmonic, 31/3, tuned between 63/44 and 13/9 and representing the acute augmented fourth of 59049/40960, that is, a Pythagorean augmented fourth plus a syntonic comma. Its ploidacot is alpha-tricot. It is a member of the schismic–Mercator equivalence continuum with n = 3, so unless 53edo is used as a tuning, the schisma is always observed.

The temperament was named by Paul Erlich in 2002 as tricot[1][2], but renamed in 2025 following the specifications of ploidacot.

Scales

2.3.5.13 subgroup

This extension identifies the generator with 13/9 by tempering out the threedie, 2197/2187, providing a relatively low-complexity mapping for 13.

Optimal ET sequence: 17c, 36c, 53

Badness (Sintel): 1.262

Catatricot

However, alphatricot in the 5-limit is far more accurate than threedic. Catatricot interprets the generator as ~75/52 instead of 13/9, making the tempering of 140625/140608, the catasma, instead of the threedie. It also tempers out 256000/255879, the phaotisma.

Badness (Sintel): 0.181

Alphatrillium

Alphatrillium, named by Xenllium in 2021 as trillium but renamed following the specifications of ploidacot, can be described as the 53 & 441 temperament, tempering out the ragisma aside from the alphatricot comma. 441edo is a good tuning for this temperament, with generator 233\441. The harmonic 7 is found at -95 generator steps, so that the smallest mos scale is the 123-tone one. For much simpler mappings of 7 at the cost of higher errors, you could try alphatrident and alphatrimot.

It can be extended to the 11-limit by tempering out 131072/130977, and to the 13-limit by tempering out 2080/2079, 4096/4095 and 4225/4224. The optimal tunings in the 11- and 13-limit lean towards 494edo; 935edo and especially 1429edo are recommendable tunings.

Alphatrident

Alphatrident, also named by Xenllium in 2021 as trident but renamed following the specifications of ploidacot, can be described as the 53 & 229 temperament. It tempers out the garischisma, 33554432/33480783 ([25 -14 0 1⟩), and finds the harmonic 7 at -14 fifths or (-14) × 3 = -42 generator steps, so that the smallest mos scale that includes it is the 53-note one.

Alphatrimot

Alphatrimot, named by Petr Pařízek in 2011[3] but renamed following the specifications of ploidacot, can be described as the 53 & 70 temperament. It finds prime 7 at only 11 generators up so that the generator is interpreted as a flat ~81/56, but is more of a full 13-limit system in its own right. 123edo in the 123de val is a great tuning for it. Mos scales of 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 36 or 53 notes are available.

Noletaland

Noletaland is described as 282 & 1323, and it combines the smallest consistent edo in the 29-odd-limit with the smallest uniquely consistent. It reaches 4/3 in nine generators (noleta-…) and tempers out the landscape comma (…-land). Noletaland reaches 13/11 in 2 generators, and 29/19 in 5. Then there is 44/25 in 4, and 152/115 in also 4.
