Keegic temperaments
- 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.
This is a collection of rank-2 keegic temperaments, which temper out the keega (ratio: 1029/1000, monzo: [-3 1 -3 3⟩), the difference a stack of three 10/7's and the 3rd harmonic.
Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:
- Parakangaroo (+28/27) → Trienstonic clan
- Progress (+64/63) → Archytas clan
- Liese (+81/80) → Meantone family
- Triton (+225/224) → Marvel temperaments
- Keemun (+49/48) → Kleismic family
- Subklei (+36/35) → Mint temperaments
- Trisected (+128/125) → Augmented family
- Xenia (+245/243) → Sensamagic clan
- Antitonic (+9/8) → Very low accuracy temperaments
Considered below are quinkee and aurora, in the order of increasing badness.
Quinkee
Quinkee has a period of 1/5 octave and tempers out the keega (1029/1000), from which it derives its name. It may be described as the 15 & 55 temperament. It was named by Xenllium in 2021.

Aurora
- For the 5-limit version, see Diaschismic–gothmic equivalence continuum #Goldis.
The aurora temperament (13 & 21) is very strongly related to the golden oneirotonic tuning (generator: (3 - sqrt(5))/2 octave = 458.3592135001 cents). It has a temperament structure superficially similar to father, with extremely flat fourths (subfourths/ultramajor third) or sharp fifths (superfifths/ultraminor sixths). However, unlike father, 12 of these bad fourths reach a more in-tune fifth, which is useful for creating resolutions when using a large enough gamut, such as the 13L 8s mos which has two good major & minor chords.
