This is a collection of rank-3 temperaments tempering out the keenanisma, 385/384. For the rank-4 keenanismic temperament, see Keenanismic family.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:

Considered below are uniwiz and tritiwiz.

Uniwiz

Uniwiz tempers out 1500625/1492992 = [-11 -6 4 4 in the 7-limit, and the keenanisma, 385/384, the kalisma, 9801/9800, as well as the Alpharabian comma, 131769/131072 = [-17 2 0 0 4, in the 11-limit. The extension to the 2.3.5.7.11.13.17 subgroup tempers out two no-13's 17-limit PIFE commas, 561/560 and 595/594, along with their product, 289/288, thus also equating the half-octave with 17/12~24/17. The S-expression-based comma list of this extension is {(S17,) S33, S34, S35 = S49*S50(, S99 = S33/S35)}.

It features the split of the whole tone into four equal parts, each representing 36/35~35/34~34/33~33/32. Therefore, it is most interesting to those who would like to make extensive use of quartertones. It can be viewed as the temperament described by the three quartertone-size equal temperaments: 22, 24 and 26. In the 11-limit it shares the optimal patent val, 284, with keenanismic.
