← 166edo | 167edo | 168edo → |
167 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 167edo), or 167-tone equal temperament (167tet), 167 equal temperament (167et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 167 equal parts of about 7.19 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/167, or the 167 root of 2.
Theory
167et tempers out the würschmidt comma, 393216/390625, and the leapday comma, [31 -21 1⟩, in the 5-limit; 2401/2400, 3136/3125, and 179200/177147 in the 7-limit; 896/891, 2200/2187, and 3388/3375 in the 11-limit; 325/324, 352/351, 364/363, 1001/1000, and 1716/1715 in the 13-limit, providing the optimal patent val for 11- and 13-limit polypyth temperament; 256/255, 442/441, 595/594, 715/714, and 936/935 in the 17-limit. It also supports the 11-limit unthirds temperament.
167edo also has a very close approximation to the golden magic scale.
