Diaschismic, 2.3.5[10 & 12], is a 5-limit temperament equating 45/32 to the half-octave, thereby equating a stack of two 5/4's and two 9/8's to the octave; equivalently, it equates a stack of one 5/4 and two 16/15's to the half-octave. The generator of Diaschismic can be taken to be ~16/15 or ~3/2.

12edo and 22edo are notable Diaschismic tunings. Some tunings of Diaschismic that are more accurate in the 5-limit are 34edo and 46edo.

Extensions

Diaschismic has an endoparticular extension that adds prime 17, equating the 16/15 generator to 17/16. Adding other primes accurately is harder; Pajara provides a simple albeit lower-accuracy extension to prime 7 by tempering out 64/63.
