32afdo (arithmetic frequency division of the octave), or 32odo (otonal division of the octave), divides the octave into 32 parts of 1/32 each. It is a superset of 31afdo and a subset of 33afdo. As a scale it may be known as mode 32 of the harmonic series or the Over-32 scale.

The smallest edo that maintains 25% or lower relative error on all intervals of 32afdo is 3159811edo.

Scales

This article or section contains multiple idiosyncratic terms. Such terms are used by only a few people and are not regularly used within the community.

Terms: Most of these names were coined, and are solely used, by Budjarn Lambeth - however he was only the first to name many of these scales, others have probably already used them before him
