Archytas clan

(Redirected from Archy)
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The archytas clan (or archy family) tempers out the Archytas' comma, 64/63. This means a stack of two 3/2 fifths octave-reduced equals a whole tone of 8/7~9/8 tempered together; two of these tones or equivalently four stacked fifths octave-reduced equal a 9/7 major third. Note the similarity in function to 81/80 in meantone, where four stacked fifths octave-reduced equal a 5/4 major third. This leads to tunings with 3's and 7's quite sharp, such as those of 22edo.

This article focuses on rank-2 temperaments. See Archytas family for the rank-3 temperament resulting from tempering out 64/63 alone in the full 7-limit.

Overview to extensions

Adding 245/243 to the list of commas gives superpyth; 2430/2401 gives quasisuper; 36/35 gives dominant; 360/343 gives schism; 6860/6561 gives ultrapyth; 33614/32805 gives quasiultra; 16/15 gives mother. These all use the same generators as archy.

686/675 gives beatles, splitting the fifth in two. 8748/8575 gives immunized, splitting the twelfth in two. 50/49 gives pajara with a semioctave period. 392/375 gives progress, splitting the twelfth in three. 250/243 gives porcupine, splitting the fourth in three. 126/125 gives augene with a 1/3-octave period. 4375/4374 gives modus, splitting the fifth in four. 3125/3024 gives brightstone. 9604/9375 gives fervor. 3125/2916 gives sixix. 3125/3087 gives passion. Those split the generator in five in various ways. 28/27 gives blacksmith with a 1/5-octave period. Finally, 15625/15552 gives catalan, splitting the twelfth in six.

Sixix

For the 5-limit version, see Syntonic–chromatic equivalence continuum #Sixix (5-limit).
See also: Dual-fifth temperaments § Dual-3 Sixix

Sixix is related to the kleismic family in a way similar to the one between meantone and mavila. In both cases the generator is nominally a 6/5 and the complexity to generate major and minor chords is the same, but in sixix it is tuned extremely sharply, to the point where the 3rd and 5th harmonics are reached by going down instead of up, inverting the logic of chord construction.
