'''32ED12''' is the [[ED12|equal division of the twelfth harmonic]] into 32 equal parts. It is similar to [[9edo]], but has the [[12/1]] tuned just instead of 2/1. The octave is stretched significantly (by 9.9¢) and the step size is 134.436{{c}}. It can be used as a tuning for [[Pelog]] scales in Indonesian gamelan music, since Pelog is well approximated by 9edo with stretched octaves.

32 equal divisions of the 12th harmonic (abbreviated 32ed12) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 12/1 into 32 equal parts of about 134 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 121/32, or the 32nd root of 12.

Theory

32ed12 is similar to 9edo, but has the 12th harmonic tuned just instead of the octave, which stretches the octave by about 9.9 ¢. It also approximates Pelog tunings in Indonesian gamelan music very well, since Pelog is well-approximated by 9edo with stretched octaves.
