Archytas family

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The archytas family of rank-3 temperaments tempers out 64/63. The head of this family, archytas, tempers out 64/63 alone in the full 7-limit, so it has the same 2.3.7-subgroup structure as archy but giving prime 5 an independent generator.

See Archytas clan for the rank-2 temperament without the last generator of archytas, and its various extensions.
