'''138edo''' is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 138 parts of 8.6957 [[cent]]s each. It is inconsistent to the 5-limit and higher limit, with three mappings possible for the 13-limit: <138 219 320 387 477 511| (patent val), <138 218 320 387 477 510| (138bf), and <138 219 321 388 478 511| (138cde). Using the patent val, it tempers out the shibboleth comma, 1953125/1889568 and the misty comma, 67108864/66430125 in the 5-limit; 875/864, 1029/1024, and 1647086/1594323 in the 7-limit; 896/891, 1331/1323, 1375/1372, and 2401/2376 in the 11-limit; 196/195, 275/273, and 1575/1573 in the 13-limit.

138 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 138edo or 138ed2), also called 138-tone equal temperament (138tet) or 138 equal temperament (138et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 138 equal parts of about 8.7 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/138, or the 138th root of 2.

Since 138 = 3 × 46, 138edo shares its fifth with 46edo. Unlike 46edo, it is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and higher limits, with three mappings possible for the 13-limit: 138 219 320 387 477 511] (patent val), 138 219 321 388 478 511] (138cde), and 138 218 320 387 477 510] (138bf). The last mapping uses an alternative flat fifth from 69edo.

Using the patent val, it tempers out 1953125/1889568 (shibboleth comma) and 67108864/66430125 (misty comma) in the 5-limit; 875/864, 1029/1024, and 1647086/1594323 in the 7-limit; 896/891, 1331/1323, 1375/1372, and 2401/2376 in the 11-limit; 196/195, 275/273, and 1575/1573 in the 13-limit.

The 138cde val is enfactored in the 5-limit, with the same tuning as 46edo, tempering out the diaschisma, 2048/2025 and the sensipent comma, 78732/78125. However, it tempers out 1728/1715, 10976/10935, and 250047/250000 in the 7-limit; 176/175, 540/539, 896/891, and 85184/84375 in the 11-limit; 351/350, 352/351, 364/363, 640/637, and 2197/2187 in the 13-limit, supporting the echidna temperament and giving an excellent tuning.

The 138bf val is also enfactored in the 5-limit, with the same tuning as 69edo, tempering out the syntonic comma, 81/80 and [-41 1 17. However, it tempers out 2401/2400, 2430/2401, and 9765625/9633792 in the 7-limit; 385/384, 1375/1372, 1944/1925, and 9375/9317 in the 11-limit, supporting the cuboctahedra temperament; 625/624, 975/968, 1001/1000, and 1188/1183 in the 13-limit.

138edo can be treated as the 2.7/5.11/5.13/3 subgroup temperament, which tempers out 24192/24167, 1449459/1449175, and 75000000/74942413.
