8 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 8edo or 8ed2), also called 8-tone equal temperament (8tet) or 8 equal temperament (8et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 8 equal parts of exactly 150 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/8, or the 8th root of 2.
