Ripple 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 ripple family of temperaments tempers out the ripple comma (ratio: 6561/6250, monzo: [-1 8 -5⟩), which equates a stack of five 27/25's with 4/3.
Ripple
The generator of ripple is a semitone representing 27/25, five of which give 4/3, and eight of which give 8/5. The ploidacot of ripple is omega-pentacot. This means that 27/25 is severely flattened, so that the characteristic damage is a strongly flat-tempered fourth reached at 5 semitones. Interestingly, in optimal tunings, the major third of ~5/4 does not tend to be damaged much sharpwards as one might expect from the equivalence, and is in practice sometimes even flat, so that prime 3 takes on practically the whole damage of the 5-limit equivalence, for which it has the advantage of being the simplest so still having a good chance at psychoacoustic viability. As a result though, the mapping of ~9/8 is often very flat, so that ripple can in practice be thought of as a dual-fifth temperament unless you use tunings close to 12edo.
Reasonable patent val tunings not appearing in the optimal ET sequence are 35edo and 47edo.

Overview to extensions
The second comma of the comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at:
Both use the same nominal generator as ripple.
For weak extensions, we have hemiripple and cohemiripple. Hemiripple adds 49/48, spliting the semitone generator in two. Cohemiripple adds 245/243, spliting the octave complement of the semitone generator in two.
Septimal ripple
Septimal ripple interprets the generator as a very flat ~15/14, so that 3 and 5 are flat and 7 is sharp; of these, 3 is the most damaged, but is also the simplest, so is still viable as an approximation. Due to the sharp 7 and flatter 3, ~21/16 can be fairly in-tune, acting as the alternate fourth in a dual-fourth interpretation, so that the inconsistent but more accurate ~16/9 is reached as ~(21/16)⋅(4/3) = ~7/4, though this assumes you are putting the most damage on 3 as to get larger primes more in tune. This has another advantage, specific to the 11-limit: this accurate but inconsistent ~9/8 (which is usually just to slightly sharp) can find the neutral third ~11/9 with reasonable accuracy.
If you are looking for the former canonical extension, see #Rip.

Rip
Formerly known as septimal ripple, but de-canonized in favour of canonizing a significantly more accurate extension of similar efficiency so that #Ripple admits nontrivial edo tunings of interest. The reason for de-canonization is not coming close to preserving the damage level of 5-limit ripple to the 7-limit or even of this 7-limit damage level to the 11-limit.
