Arcturus

This page on a regular temperament, temperament collection, or aspect of RTT is under the jurisdiction of WikiProject TempClean and is being revised for clarity.

Arcturus is the rank-2 regular temperament of the 3.5.7 subgroup that tempers out the Arcturus comma, 15625/15309. Having an ~5/3 as a generator, this temperament is the application of the Pythagorean principle of tuning a stack of the next higher prime number and then factoring out powers of the equivalence to tritave composition. However, a heptatonic MOS (2L 5s3/1) will not suffice to produce an understandable rendition of it because a very close ~5/3 generates a L:s ratio between 4:1 and 5:1, which is beginning to get too lopsided to still be a complete presentation of a temperament.

For technical data, see No-twos subgroup temperaments#Arcturus.

Etymology

This temperament is named after the star Arcturus, following a series of nonoctave temperaments that are named after stars.

Chords

Arcturus contains the triad 5:7:9 (used in Bohlen-Pierce harmony) and the triad 27:35:45 which divides 5/3 into two nearly-equal parts.
