Undim family

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The undim family tempers out [41 -20 -4, equating the Pythagorean comma with a stack of four schismas, making it a member of the schismic-Pythagorean equivalence continuum. It features a quarter-octave period, which acts as the interval separating ~256/243 from ~5/4. The name undim was given by Petr Pařízek in 2011 for it is some sort of opposite to diminished[1].

The second comma of the normal comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. Septimal undim (140 & 152) tempers out 5120/5103 (hemifamity). Unlit (152 & 316) does 4375/4374 (ragisma) instead. Twilight (152 & 176) adds 6144/6125 (porwell) to the comma list and splits the period into two – 1/8 of an octave.

Undim

Note that all versions of undim (ones that do not already map 19 differently and more accurately) have an obvious extension to prime 19 by observing that sharpening 1215/1024 by 1216/1215 results in 19/16, thus mapping 19/16 to 1\4. This interpretation is arguably much more harmonically plausible, owing to its simplicity and thereby greater tolerance to mistuning.
