'''104 EDO''' divides the [[octave]] into 104 parts of size 11.5385 [[cent]]s each.

104edo is a strong no-fives system, with good approximations up to the no-5 19-limit. In the [[2.3.7.11.13 subgroup|2.3.7.11.13-subgroup]], it tempers out [[352/351]], [[364/363]], [[896/891]], [[2197/2187]], [[10648/10647]], 16807/16731, 20449/20412, 21632/21609, and 26411/26364.<!-- Add commas in 2.3.7.11.13.17.19 as well --> It is an excellent tuning for the 2.3.7.11.13-subgroup [[rank]]-3 [[parapyth]] temperament tempering out 352/351, 364/363, and 896/891, which maps [[14/11]] to the diatonic major third and [[13/11]] to the diatonic minor third, in fact providing the [[optimal patent val]]. Additionally, it supports the extension to prime 17 known as [[etypyth]], which maps 17/14 to the augmented second, though [[121edo]] is a more optimal tuning of it. It also provides the optimal patent val for the 2.3.7.11.13-subgroup {{nowrap| 17 & 87 }} temperament tempering out 352/351, 364/363 and 2197/2187, which splits 3/1 into three ~13/9's, and can be considered a rank-2 reduction of parapyth.


{{Primes in edo|104|prec=2}}
Notably, 104edo inherits [[26edo]]'s accurate representation of the [[2.7.11 subgroup|2.7.11-subgroup]], and thus supports [[orgone]] temperament in that subgroup.


104 EDO has two different equally viable 5-limit [[val]]s, and both are useful. The flat major third val, {{val|104 165 241}} ([[patent val]]), tempers out [[3125/3072]], and supports [[magic]] temperament. The sharp major third val, {{val|104 165 242}} (104c val), tempers out [[2048/2025]] and supports [[diaschismic]] temperament.
If prime 5 is desired, 104edo has two different equally viable 5-limit [[val]]s, and both are useful. The flat major third val, {{val| 104 165 241 }} ([[patent val]]), tempers out [[3125/3072]], and [[support]]s [[magic]] temperament. The sharp major third val, {{val| 104 165 242 }} (104c val), tempers out [[2048/2025]] and supports [[diaschismic]] temperament. Additionally, it is viable to treat 104edo as dual-5, or as a 2.3.25.7.11.13.17.19 subgroup temperament.


104 EDO with the flat third is especially notable as an excellent tuning for magic temperament, providing the [[optimal patent val]] for 11-limit magic and the 13-limit magic extension [[necromancy]]. In the 5-limit it tempers out the magic comma, 3125/3072; in the 7-limit, it tempers out [[225/224]], [[245/243]] and [[875/864]]; and in the 11-limit, [[100/99]], [[896/891]], [[385/384]] and [[540/539]]. It provides an excellent tuning also for the rank three temperaments pairing 100/99 with 225/224 ([[apollo]] temperament), 245/243 or 875/864, or the rank four temperament tempering out 100/99, for which it gives the optimal patent val.

It also provides an excellent tuning for the rank-3 temperament pairing 100/99 with 225/224 ([[apollo]] temperament), 245/243 or 875/864, and the rank-4 temperament tempering out 100/99, for which it gives the optimal patent val.


104 with the sharp third is excellent for 11, 13, or 17 limit diaschismic. It tempers out 2048/2025 in the 5-limit, [[126/125]] and [[5120/5103]] in the 7-limit, [[176/175]] and 896/891 in the 11-limit, [[196/195]] and [[364/363]] in the 13-limit and [[136/135]] and [[256/255]] in the 17-limit.
104edo with the sharp third is excellent for 11-, 13-, or 17-limit diaschismic. It tempers out 2048/2025 in the 5-limit, [[126/125]] and [[5120/5103]] in the 7-limit, [[176/175]] and 896/891 in the 11-limit, [[196/195]], 352/351 and 364/363 in the 13-limit, and [[136/135]] and [[256/255]] in the 17-limit.


104 is also notable as a no-fives system; on 2.3.7.11.13, it tempers out 352/351, 364/363, 896/891, 2197/2187, 16807/16731, 20449/20412, 21632/21609, 26411/26364 and 10648/10647. It is the optimal patent val for the 17&amp;87 2.3.7.11.13 subgroup temperament tempering out 352/351, 364/363 and 2197/2187, which has a 13/9 generator, three of which give a 3.
=== Prime harmonics ===
{{Harmonics in equal|104}}


== Rank two temperaments ==
=== Octave stretch ===
104edo's approximations of harmonics 3, 7, 11, and 13 can all be improved if slightly compressing the octave is acceptable, using tunings such as [[269ed6]], which is also suitable for the full 13-limit and beyond, using the 104c val. A greater focus on prime 5 could lead to more heavily compressed tunings such as [[165edt]].


=== In patent val ===
=== Subsets and supersets ===
Since 104 factors into primes as {{nowrap| 2<sup>3</sup> × 13 }}, 104edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, and 52 }}.

Since 104 EDO has a step of 11.5385 cents, it also allows one to use its MOS scales as circulating temperaments. As 8*[[13 EDO]], it is the first EDO where two smaller EDOs it allows one to use as circulating temperaments are Fibonacci EDOs.

104 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 104edo or 104ed2), also called 104-tone equal temperament (104tet) or 104 equal temperament (104et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 104 equal parts of about 11.5 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/104, or the 104th root of 2.

Theory

104edo is a strong no-fives system, with good approximations up to the no-5 19-limit. In the 2.3.7.11.13-subgroup, it tempers out 352/351, 364/363, 896/891, 2197/2187, 10648/10647, 16807/16731, 20449/20412, 21632/21609, and 26411/26364. It is an excellent tuning for the 2.3.7.11.13-subgroup rank-3 parapyth temperament tempering out 352/351, 364/363, and 896/891, which maps 14/11 to the diatonic major third and 13/11 to the diatonic minor third, in fact providing the optimal patent val. Additionally, it supports the extension to prime 17 known as etypyth, which maps 17/14 to the augmented second, though 121edo is a more optimal tuning of it. It also provides the optimal patent val for the 2.3.7.11.13-subgroup 17 & 87 temperament tempering out 352/351, 364/363 and 2197/2187, which splits 3/1 into three ~13/9's, and can be considered a rank-2 reduction of parapyth.

Notably, 104edo inherits 26edo's accurate representation of the 2.7.11-subgroup, and thus supports orgone temperament in that subgroup.

If prime 5 is desired, 104edo has two different equally viable 5-limit vals, and both are useful. The flat major third val, 104 165 241] (patent val), tempers out 3125/3072, and supports magic temperament. The sharp major third val, 104 165 242] (104c val), tempers out 2048/2025 and supports diaschismic temperament. Additionally, it is viable to treat 104edo as dual-5, or as a 2.3.25.7.11.13.17.19 subgroup temperament.

104edo with the flat third is especially notable as an excellent tuning for magic temperament, providing the optimal patent val for 11-limit magic and the 13-limit magic extension necromancy. In the 5-limit it tempers out the magic comma, 3125/3072; in the 7-limit, it tempers out 225/224, 245/243 and 875/864; and in the 11-limit, 100/99, 896/891, 385/384 and 540/539. It also provides an excellent tuning for the rank-3 temperament pairing 100/99 with 225/224 (apollo temperament), 245/243 or 875/864, and the rank-4 temperament tempering out 100/99, for which it gives the optimal patent val.

104edo with the sharp third is excellent for 11-, 13-, or 17-limit diaschismic. It tempers out 2048/2025 in the 5-limit, 126/125 and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit, 176/175 and 896/891 in the 11-limit, 196/195, 352/351 and 364/363 in the 13-limit, and 136/135 and 256/255 in the 17-limit.

Octave stretch

104edo's approximations of harmonics 3, 7, 11, and 13 can all be improved if slightly compressing the octave is acceptable, using tunings such as 269ed6, which is also suitable for the full 13-limit and beyond, using the 104c val. A greater focus on prime 5 could lead to more heavily compressed tunings such as 165edt.

Subsets and supersets

Since 104 factors into primes as 23 × 13, 104edo has subset edos 2, 4, 8, 13, 26, and 52.
