Misty, 12 & 87, is a 7-limit temperament with

  • generator 3/2 (period-reduced: 25/21)
  • period 1/3-octave which represents 63/50, the difference between 56/25 and 16/9.

In misty, the diesis 128/125 is split into three 126/125s (which also represent 225/224). As a result, the octave is also split into three, because by definition a 5/4 and a third of 128/125 reach 1\3.

The generator is 135/128, which stacks four times to 5/4 and raises by a 400c period to 4/3. Because it is a didacus temperament, 5/4 is split into two parts that stack 5 times to 7/4.

It results from tempering out the following 2 commas:

  • 5120/5103, the aberschisma, which equates 64/63 and 81/80
  • 3136/3125, the Didacus comma

Theory

Intervals

Misty has the structural property of dividing the comma 81/80~64/63 into two equal kleismas 126/125~225/224.

(* exact-2/1, exact-7/4 tuning; octave-reduced)

Derivation of 1/3-octave period

  1. 128/125 = 126/125 * 64/63 is equated to 126/125 * 81/80 by the aberschisma
  2. 81/80 itself = 126/125 * 225/224
  3. Didacus equates 225/224 to 126/125
  4. So we have 128/125 ~= 126/125 * 81/80 = 126/125 * 126/125 * 225/224 ~= (126/125)3
  5. Hence, 2/1 = 5/4 * 5/4 * 5/4 * 128/125 ~= (5/4 * 126/125)3 = (63/50)3
