The '''1789 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''1789edo'''), or the '''1789-tone equal temperament''' ('''1789tet'''), '''1789 equal temperament''' ('''1789et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 1789 [[equal]] parts of about 0.671 [[cent]]s each. It is the 278th [[prime edo]].

1789edo is in[[consistent]] to the [[5-odd-limit]] and [[harmonic]] [[3/1|3]] is about halfway between its steps. Otherwise, it is excellent in approximating harmonics [[5/1|5]], [[9/1|9]], [[11/1|11]], [[13/1|13]] and [[21/1|21]], making it suitable for a 2.9.5.21.11.13 [[subgroup]] interpretation.


1789edo can be adapted for use with the 2.5.11.13.29.31.47.59.61 [[subgroup]]. Perhaps the most notable fact about 1789edo, is the fact that it tempers out the jacobin comma ([[6656/6655]]), and it is also consistent on the subgroup 2.5.11.13 of the comma, which is quite appropriate for edo's number. Although there are temperaments which are better suited for tempering this comma, 1789edo is unique in that its number is the hallmark year of the French Revolution, thus making the tempering of the jacobin comma on topic.
For higher harmonics, 1789edo can be adapted for use with the 2.9.5.21.11.13.29.31.47.59.61 subgroup. Perhaps the most notable fact about 1789edo is that it [[tempering out|tempers out]] the jacobin comma ([[6656/6655]]), and it is also consistent on the subgroup 2.5.11.13 of the comma, which is quite appropriate for edo's number.

1789edo is consistent in the no-threes 13-odd-limit. Since its double, [[3578edo]], is consistent in the 21-odd-limit, it can be thought of as a [[K*N subgroups|2*1789]] 2.9.5.7.11.13.225.289.361.21 subgroup temperament, on which it shares mapping with 3578edo and tempers out the same commas.

=== Jacobin temperaments ===
A "proper" jacobin scale in 1789edo, the maximum evenness scale that uses 822 as a generator, contains only 37 notes. The step sizes are 48 and 49, making them indistinguishable to human ear at this scale.
{{Main| The Jacobins }}


Using the maximal evenness method of finding rank two temperaments, we get a 37 & 1789 temperament with the comma set 6656/6655 and {{monzo| -119 -46 15 47 }}. The first is the well known jacobin comma, and it means that a stack of three 11/8 is equated with 13/10.
Since 1789edo tempers out the jacobin comma and it is defined by stacking three 11/8s to reach 13/10, one can use that as a generator. The resulting temperament is {{nowrap|37 & 1789}}, called onzonic. Name "onzonic" comes from the French word for eleven, ''onze''.  


The monotonicity can be fixed by using divisors of 822 as a generaator, for example 137\1789 "6th root of 11/8" temperament having 222 notes. In addition, this can be re-interpreted by using 13/10 as a generator instead which produces a more vibrant 1205 out of 1789, and partitioning the resulting 13/5s in three around the octave. Addition of 29 and 31 harmonic intervals may also be suitable to spice up an otherwise monotonous scale.
1789edo supports the 2.5.11.13.19 subgroup temperament called ''estates general'' defined as {{nowrap|1789 & 3125}}. This is referencing the fact that Estates General were called by Louis XVI on 5th May 1789, written as 05/05, and 3125 is 5 to the 5th power and also provides an optimal patent val for tempering out the jacobin comma, contuing the lore.
 
=== French decimal temperament ===
1789edo can be used for the finite "decimal" temperament - that is, where all the interval targets in just intonation are expressed as terminating decimals. For example, [[5/4]], [[25/16]], [[128/125]], [[32/25]], 625/512, etc. This rings particularly true for the French attempts to decimalize a lot more things than we are used to today. This property of 1789edo is amplified by poor approximation of 3 and 7, allowing for cognitive separation of the intervals (or whatever is left of it at such small step size).
 
Using the maximal evenness method of finding rank-2 temperaments, we get a 1525 & 1789 temperament with comma basis 28824005/28792192, 200126927/200000000, 6106906624/6103515625 in the 2.5.7.11.13 subgroup.

For its elaborate xenharmonicity, 1789edo has an essentially perfect [[9/8]], a very common interval. The associated comma is {{monzo| 5671 -1789 }} in 2.9. This is a direct consequence of 1789edo being a [[dual-fifth system]]. 1046th and 1047th steps are not associated with JI intervals by themselves, but satisfy 3<sup>+</sup> × 3<sup>-</sup> = 9, which represents 9/1, and therefore when octave reduced this leads to 9/8.  
1789edo can be used for the finite "French decimal" temperament—that is, where all the interval targets in just intonation are expressed as terminating decimals. For example, [[5/4]], [[25/16]], [[128/125]], [[32/25]], 625/512, etc.


Since the 5/4 of 1789edo is on the 576th step, a highly divisible number, 1789edo can replicate a lot of [[Ed5/4]] temperaments - more exactly those which are divisors of 576, and that includes all from [[2ed5/4]] to [[9ed5/4]], skipping [[7ed5/4]].
Since the 5/4 of 1789edo is on the 576th step, a highly divisible number, 1789edo can replicate a lot of [[ed5/4]] temperaments—more exactly those which are divisors of 576, and that includes all from [[2ed5/4]] to [[9ed5/4]], skipping [[7ed5/4]]. One such scale which stands for [[4ed5/4]], is a tuning for the [[hemiluna]] temperament in the 1789bd val in the 13-limit. It is also worth noting that 1789bd val is better tuned than the patent val.


On the patent val in the 7-limit, 1789edo supports 99 & 373 temperament called maviloid. In addition, it also tempers out [[2401/2400]]. The 1789bd val in the 13-limit is better tuned than the patent val. It provides a tuning for the [[hemiluna]] temperament.
1789edo has an essentially perfect [[9/8]], a very common interval. 1789edo supports the 2.9.5.11.13 subgroup temperament called ''commatose'' which uses the Pythagorean comma as a generator, which is excess of six 9/8s over the octave in this case. It is defined as a {{nowrap|460 & 1789}} temperament.  


==== Tricesimoprimal miracloid ====
Since 1789edo has a very precise 31/29, it supports tricesimoprimal miracloid—a version of secor with 31/29 as the generator and a flat, meantone-esque fifth of about 692.23 cents. Using the maximal evenness method, we find a {{nowrap|52 & 1789}} temperament. Best subgroup for it is 2.5.7.11.19.29.31, since both 52edo and 1789edo support it well, and the comma basis is 10241/10240, 5858783/5856400, 4093705/4090624, 15109493/15089800, 102942875/102834688.

==== Commatose ====
On the patent val in the 7-limit, 1789edo supports {{nowrap|99 & 373}} temperament called maviloid. In addition, it also tempers out [[2401/2400]].  
1789edo supports the 2.9.5.11.13 subgroup temperament called ''commatose'' which uses the Pythagorean comma as a generator. It is defined as a 460 & 1789 temperament, and its comma basis is 62748517/62726400, 479773125/479756288, and 30530193408/30517578125.


==== Estates General ====
=== Subsets and supersets ===
1789edo supports the 2.5.11.13.19 subgroup temperament called ''estates general'' defined as 1789 & 3125. This is referencing the fact that Estates General were called by Louis XVI on 5th May 1789, written as 05/05, and 3125 is 5 to the 5th power and also provides an optimal patent val for tempering out the jacobin comma, contuing the lore. It is unambiguous in the 2.5.11.13.19.23.29.31 subgroup.
1789edo is the 278th [[prime edo]]. [[3578edo]], which doubles it, is consistent in the [[21-odd-limit]].

1789 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1789edo or 1789ed2), also called 1789-tone equal temperament (1789tet) or 1789 equal temperament (1789et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1789 equal parts of about 0.671 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1789, or the 1789th root of 2.

Theory

1789edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and harmonic 3 is about halfway between its steps. Otherwise, it is excellent in approximating harmonics 5, 9, 11, 13 and 21, making it suitable for a 2.9.5.21.11.13 subgroup interpretation.

For higher harmonics, 1789edo can be adapted for use with the 2.9.5.21.11.13.29.31.47.59.61 subgroup. Perhaps the most notable fact about 1789edo is that it tempers out the jacobin comma (6656/6655), and it is also consistent on the subgroup 2.5.11.13 of the comma, which is quite appropriate for edo's number. Although there are temperaments which are better suited for tempering this comma, 1789edo is unique in that its number is the hallmark year of the French Revolution, thus making the tempering of the jacobin comma on topic.

Jacobin temperaments

Since 1789edo tempers out the jacobin comma and it is defined by stacking three 11/8s to reach 13/10, one can use that as a generator. The resulting temperament is 37 & 1789, called onzonic. Name "onzonic" comes from the French word for eleven, onze.

1789edo supports the 2.5.11.13.19 subgroup temperament called estates general defined as 1789 & 3125. This is referencing the fact that Estates General were called by Louis XVI on 5th May 1789, written as 05/05, and 3125 is 5 to the 5th power and also provides an optimal patent val for tempering out the jacobin comma, contuing the lore.

Other

1789edo can be used for the finite "French decimal" temperament—that is, where all the interval targets in just intonation are expressed as terminating decimals. For example, 5/4, 25/16, 128/125, 32/25, 625/512, etc.

Since the 5/4 of 1789edo is on the 576th step, a highly divisible number, 1789edo can replicate a lot of ed5/4 temperaments—more exactly those which are divisors of 576, and that includes all from 2ed5/4 to 9ed5/4, skipping 7ed5/4. One such scale which stands for 4ed5/4, is a tuning for the hemiluna temperament in the 1789bd val in the 13-limit. It is also worth noting that 1789bd val is better tuned than the patent val.

1789edo has an essentially perfect 9/8, a very common interval. 1789edo supports the 2.9.5.11.13 subgroup temperament called commatose which uses the Pythagorean comma as a generator, which is excess of six 9/8s over the octave in this case. It is defined as a 460 & 1789 temperament.

Since 1789edo has a very precise 31/29, it supports tricesimoprimal miracloid—a version of secor with 31/29 as the generator and a flat, meantone-esque fifth of about 692.23 cents. Using the maximal evenness method, we find a 52 & 1789 temperament. Best subgroup for it is 2.5.7.11.19.29.31, since both 52edo and 1789edo support it well, and the comma basis is 10241/10240, 5858783/5856400, 4093705/4090624, 15109493/15089800, 102942875/102834688.

On the patent val in the 7-limit, 1789edo supports 99 & 373 temperament called maviloid. In addition, it also tempers out 2401/2400.
