Very low accuracy temperaments

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Below are listed some very low accuracy temperaments. Temperaments with exceedingly low accuracy such as these tend to temper out very large "commas" such as 9/8, 32/27, or 15/14, equating wildly different interval sizes. All temperaments listed temper out an interval of at least size 15/14. As a result, every temperament here is an exotemperament.

Antitonic

This temperament is characterized by 9/8 being tempering out, and has been termed a "troll temperament". It is named on account of 4/3 and 3/2 both being represented by the 600 cent half octave, which, in terms of diatonic function, serves as an antitonic. Surprisingly, it has extensions all the way up to the 11-limit, as confirmed by the data from x31eq. The original 5-limit is basically the 3-limit music of 2edo with the addition of harmonic 5 represented by an independent generator.

This temperament was named by Jerdle as an abbreviation of "co-decimal", as it resembles decimal in many ways, but exchanges the roles of 5's and 7's. While decimal equates 8/7 and 7/6, as well as 6/5 and 5/4, this equates 10/9 and 6/5, as well as 7/6 and 9/7. It is an extension of bug in the same way decimal is of semaphore.
