It is equivalent to [[3edo]], but with 10/1 instead of 2/1 being just. One step of 10ed10 is close to the [[5/4]] major third and the 400-cent interval of 12edo, which means it tempers out [[128/125]] just like [[12edo]].

10ed10 is the equal division of 10/1 into steps of 398.631 cents.

It is equivalent to 3edo, but with 10/1 instead of 2/1 being just. One step of 10ed10 is close to the 5/4 major third and the 400-cent interval of 12edo, which means it tempers out 128/125 just like 12edo.

One step of 10ed10 may be called a decidecade. Sonification-wise, if a power quantity is mapped to the frequency scale, one step is a decibel.
