3072edo | A step of 3072edo is known as an '''octamu''' (eighth MIDI-resolution unit, 8mu, 2<sup>8</sup> = 256 equal divisions of the [[12edo]] semitone). The internal data structure of the 8mu requires two bytes, with the first bits of each byte reserved as flags to indicate the byte's status as data, and one bit in the first byte to indicate the sign (+ or −) showing the direction of the pitch-bend up or down, and 5 other bits which are not used. The first data byte transmitted is the Least Significant Byte (LSB), equivalent to a fine-tuning. The second data byte transmitted is the Most Significant Byte (MSB), equivalent to a coarse-tuning. | ||
