The '''1200 edo''' divides the octave in 1200 equal parts of exactly 1 [[cent]] each. It is notable mostly because it is the equal division corresponding to cents.

1200edo is uniquely [[consistent]] through the [[11-limit]], which means the intervals of the 11-limit [[tonality diamond]], and hence their size in cents rounded to the nearest integer, can be found by applying the 11-limit [[patent val]] {{val| 1200 1902 2786 3369 4151 }}. It is [[contorted]] in the [[5-limit]], having the same mapping as 600edo. In the [[7-limit]], it tempers out 2460375/2458624 and 95703125/95551488, leading to a temperament it supports with a period of 1/3 octave and a generator which is an approximate 225/224 of 7\1200, also supported by [[171edo]]. In the 11-limit, it tempers out 9801/9800, 234375/234256 and 825000/823543, leading to a temperament with a half-octave period and an approximate 99/98 generator of 17\1200, also supported by [[494edo]]. In the 7-limit, it provides a val, 1200ccd, which is extremely closely close to the 7-limit [[POTE tuning]] of [[quadritikleismic temperament]]: {{val| 1200 1902 2785 3368 }}. It also provides the optimal patent val for the 224&752 temperament tempering out 2200/2197, 4096/4095, 9801/9800 and 35750/35721.

1200 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1200edo or 1200ed2), also called 1200-tone equal temperament (1200tet) or 1200 equal temperament (1200et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1200 equal parts of exactly 1 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1200, or the 1200th root of 2.

1200edo is notable for being the equal division of the octave whose step size corresponds to exactly 1 cent.

Theory

1200edo is distinctly consistent through the 11-odd-limit. This means that whole-cent approximations of the 11-odd-limit tonality diamond intervals are conveniently represented through the 11-limit patent val ⟨1200 1902 2786 3369 4151]. It is enfactored in the 5-limit, having the same tuning as 600edo.

The equal temperament tempers out 2460375/2458624 and 95703125/95551488 in the 7-limit, supporting the 171 & 1029 temperament, with a period of 1/3 octave and a generator which is an approximate 225/224 of 7\1200. It tempers out 9801/9800, 234375/234256 and 825000/823543 in the 11-limit, supporting the 494 & 706 temperament, with a half-octave period and an approximate 99/98 generator of 17\1200.

It also provides a 7-limit val, 1200ccd, which is extremely closely close to the 7-limit POTE tuning of quadritikleismic temperament: ⟨1200 1902 2785 3368]. It also provides the optimal patent val for the 224 & 976 temperament tempering out 2200/2197, 4096/4095, 9801/9800 and 35750/35721.

Upwards to the 47-limit, 1200edo offers relatively accurate approximations for 2, 3, 7, 17, 31, 41, and 47, and in the 2.3.7.17.31.41.47 subgroup it tempers out 2304/2303, 3808/3807, 6273/6272, 506447/506268, 632056/632043, 10218313/10214416. The 47th harmonic is 6666 steps and 666 steps reduced – a mathematical coincidence in our decimal system.
