{{EDO intro|196608}} Its adjacent step is known as the '''MIDI Tuning Standard unit''' (MTSU) or '''Tetradecamu''' (fourteenth MIDI-resolution unit, 14mu, 2<sup>14</sup> = 16384 equal divisions of the [[12edo]] semitone). The 14mu is specified in the MIDI spec (1983) as the smallest increment available for the pitch-bend controller, and as the frequency data format for MTS (1999). The 14mu is the smallest unit of tuning resolution which has ever been put into common musical use, and provides extremely accurate tuning in microtonal electronic music.

The main application of 196608edo is not as a compositional device, but as a technical tuning standard. If we adopt direct approximation, some JI intervals are indeed improved, which makes sense since we are only quantizing JI to the grid of this edo.  
A step of 196608edo is known as a '''MIDI Tuning Standard unit''' ('''MTSU''') or a '''tetradecamu''' (fourteenth MIDI-resolution unit, 14mu, {{nowrap|2<sup>14</sup> {{=}} 16384}} equal divisions of the [[12edo]] semitone). The 14mu is specified in the [[MIDI]] spec (1983) as the smallest increment available for the pitch-bend controller, and as the frequency data format for MTS (1999). The 14mu is the smallest unit of tuning resolution which has ever been put into common musical use, and provides extremely accurate tuning in microtonal electronic music.


Another usage that is not commonly seen in other edos is to approximate smaller edos. It cannot approximate any larger edos or any edos of the same order of magnitude. From the diagram we can observe the maximum relative errors of smallers edos are most linear with respect to the edo number. [[16808edo]], a notable zeta edo that is an order of magnitude below, is approximated with a ~4% maximum relative error.  
The main application of 196608edo is thus not as a compositional device, but as a technical tuning standard. If we adopt direct approximation, some JI intervals are indeed improved, which makes sense since we are only quantizing JI to the grid of this edo.
