493 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 493edt or 493ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 493 equal parts of about 3.86 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/493, or the 493rd root of 3.

Theory

493edt is related to 311edo, but with the twelfth rather than the octave being just. The octave is about 0.187 cents compressed. The patent val matches with 311edo's through the 43-limit, maintaining the extremely strong consistency record through to the 42-integer-limit. However, it has a flat-tending tuning profile, with harmonics 1–42 all tuned flat except for 31.
