Hemimean family

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 hemimean family of temperaments are rank-3 temperaments which temper out 3136/3125.

The hemimean comma, 3136/3125, is the ratio between the septimal semicomma (126/125) and the septimal kleisma (225/224). This fact alone makes hemimean a very notable rank-3 temperament, as any non-meantone tuning of hemimean will split the syntonic comma (81/80) into two equal parts, each representing 126/125~225/224.

Other equivalences characteristic to hemimean are 128/125~50/49 and 49/45~(25/24)².

Hemimean orion

As the second generator of hemimean, 28/25, is close to 19/17, and as the latter is the mediant of 10/9 and 9/8, it is natural to extend hemimean to the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup by tempering out (28/25)/(19/17) = 476/475, or equivalently stated, the semiparticular (5/4)/(19/17)² = 1445/1444. Notice 3136/3125 = (476/475)(2128/2125) and that 2128/2125 = (1216/1215)(1701/1700), so it makes sense to temper out 1216/1215 and/or 1701/1700 as well. An interesting tuning not in the optimal ET sequence is 111edo. This temperament finds the harmonic 17 and 19 at (+5, +1) and (+5, +2), respectively, with virtually no additional error.

The S-expression-based comma list for the 2.3.5.7.17.19 subgroup extension is {S16/S18, S17/S19, S18/S20(, (S16*S17)/(S19*S20) = S16/S18 * S17/S19 * S18/S20)}.
