164 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 164edo or 164ed2), also called 164-tone equal temperament (164tet) or 164 equal temperament (164et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 164 equal parts of about 7.317 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/164, or the 164th root of 2.
Theory
In the 5-limit, 164edo tempers out the würschmidt comma, 393216/390625, and the vulture comma, [24 -21 4⟩. It supplies the optimal patent val for the würschmidt temperament.
In the patent val ⟨164 260 381 460 567 607], it tempers out 196/195, 352/351, 385/384, 441/440, 676/675, and supplies the optimal patent val for the 7-limit, 1/41 octave period 41&123 temperament, and the 13-limit momentous temperament, the rank-3 temperament tempering out 196/195, 352/351, 385/384 and 441/440.
In the alternative val 164de ⟨164 260 381 461 568 607], it tempers out 243/242, 351/350, 364/363, 640/637, 676/675, 729/728, and 1575/1573.
164 = 4 × 41, with divisors 2, 4, 41, 82.
