94edo is a remarkable all-around utility tuning system, good from low [[prime limit]] to very high prime limit situations. It is the first edo to be [[consistent]] through the [[23-odd-limit]], and no other edo is so consistent until [[282edo|282]] and [[311edo|311]] make their appearance.
94edo is a remarkable well-rounded tuning system, good from low [[prime limit]] to very high prime limit situations. It is the first edo to be [[consistent]] through the [[23-odd-limit]], and no other edo is so consistent until [[282edo|282]] and [[311edo|311]] make their appearance.


94edo can be thought of as two sets of [[47edo]] offset by one step of 94edo. It inherits from 47edo's good approximations of primes 5, 7, 13 and 17, while it dramatically improves on prime 3, as well as primes 11, 19 and 23 to a lesser degree. It can also be thought of as the "sum" of [[41edo]] and [[53edo]] (41 + 53 = 94), both of which are known for their approximation of [[Pythagorean tuning]]. Therefore 94edo's fifth is the [[mediant]] of these two tunings' fifths; it is slightly sharp of just and less accurate than 53edo's fifth, but more accurate than 41edo's.
Its step size is close to that of [[144/143]], which is consistently represented in this tuning system.


The list of 23-limit commas it tempers out is huge, but it is worth noting that it tempers out [[32805/32768]] and is thus a [[schismatic]] system, that it tempers out [[225/224]] and [[385/384]] and so is a [[marvel]] system, and that it also tempers out [[3125/3087]], [[4000/3969]], [[5120/5103]] and [[540/539]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for the rank-5 temperament tempering out [[275/273]], and for a number of other temperaments, such as [[isis]].
=== As a tuning of other temperaments ===
94edo is the sum of [[41edo]] and [[53edo]], both of which are not only known for their approximation of [[Pythagorean tuning]], but also support a variety of [[Schismatic family|schismatic temperaments]], like [[Schismatic family#Cassandra|cassandra]] (which is itself a variety of [[Schismatic family#Garibaldi|garibaldi]]), tempering out [[32805/32768]], [[225/224]], and [[385/384]], and tempering together the [[81/80|syntonic]], [[Septimal comma|septimal]], and [[pythagorean comma]] into the same interval.
 
94edo's fifth is the [[mediant]] of these two edos' fifths; it is ever so slightly sharp of just and only a hair less accurate than 53edo's fifth, but more accurate than 41edo's, and acts as a generator for a highly optimized and high-prime-limit form of cassandra. Few, if any, edos that support schismatic by [[Val|patent val]] have at least as high of a consistency limit as 94edo while also having a fifth that can stack to reach any interval in it. Other non-garibaldi schismatic notable edos in the patent val are [[118edo|118]], [[159edo|159]], [[171edo|171]], [[224edo|224]], and [[460edo|460]].
 
The list of 23-limit commas it tempers out is huge (see below), and in lower prime limits, it also tempers out [[3125/3087]], [[4000/3969]], [[5120/5103]] and [[540/539]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for gassormic, the rank-5 temperament tempering out [[275/273]] (despite one edostep being very close in size to this comma), and for a number of other temperaments, such as [[isis]].


94edo is an excellent edo for [[Carlos Beta]] scale, since the difference between 1 step of Carlos Beta and 5 steps of 94edo is only 0.00314534 cents.

=== Subsets and supersets ===
Since 94 factors into primes as {{nowrap| 2 × 47 }}, 94edo contains [[2edo]] and [[47edo]] as subset edos. It can be thought of as two sets of 47edo offset by one step of 94edo. It inherits from 47edo's good approximations of primes 5, 7, 13, and 17, while dramatically improving on prime 3, as well as primes 11, 19, and 23 to a lesser degree. Tripling 94edo yields [[282edo]], which converts flat-tending harmonics to sharp, so as to achieve distinct consistency through the 23-limit and consistency through the 29-limit.

Assuming [[23-limit]] [[patent val]] {{val| 94 149 218 264 325 348 384 399 425 }}, here is a table of intervals as approximated by [[94edo]] steps, and their corresponding 13-limit well-ordered extended diatonic interval names. 'S/s' indicates alteration by the septimal comma, [[64/63]]; 'K/k' indicates alteration by the syntonic comma, [[81/80]]; 'U/u' by the undecimal quartertone, [[33/32]]; 'L/l' by pentacircle comma, [[896/891]]; 'O/o' by [[45/44]]; 'R/r' by the rastma, [[243/242]]; 'T/t' by the tridecimal quartertone, [[1053/1024]]; and finally, 'H/h', by [[40/39]]. Capital letters alter downward, lowercase alter upwards. Important 13-limit intervals approximated that are not associated with the extended diatonic interval names are added in brackets. Multiple alterations by 'K' down from augmented and major, or up from diminished and minor intervals are also added in brackets, along with their associated (5-limit) intervals.

There are perhaps nine functional minor thirds varying between 242.553 cents and 344.681 cents, and one can even go beyond those boundaries under the right conditions, so musicians playing in 94edo have a lot more flexibility in terms of the particular interval shadings they might use depending on context.

The perfect fifth has three, or perhaps even five, functional options, each differing by one step. Although in most timbres only the central perfect fifth at 702.128 cents sounds consonant and stable, the lower and higher variants provide a change in interval quality, and can be helpful in creating subsets which mimic other edos, and close the circle of fifths in different numbers of pitches. For example, a close approximation to 41edo can be made using a chain of forty 702.128 cent fifths and one wide fifth at 714.894 cents, with an improvement on the tuning of most simple consonances in close keys, but a 1-step variation in interval quality as one modulates to more distant keys.

Every odd-numbered interval can generate the entire tuning of 94edo except for the 600-cent [[tritone]] (47\94), which divides the octave exactly in half.

While having the whole gamut of 94 intervals available on a keyboard or other instrument would be quite a feat, one can get a lot out of a 41-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree wide) or a 53-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree narrow), where the subset behaves much like a well-temperament, arguably usable in all keys but with some interval size variation between closer and more distant keys.

== Notation ==
=== Ups and downs notation ===
94edo can be written using [[Kite's ups and downs notation]]. Note that quudsharp (quadruple-down sharp) is equivalent to quip (quintuple-up) and that quupflat (quadruple-up flat) is equivalent to quid (quintuple-down):
{{Ups and downs sharpness}}
=== Sagittal ===
94edo can be notated in [[Sagittal notation|Sagittal]] using the [[Sagittal_notation#Athenian|Athenian set]], with the apotome equal to 9 edosteps and the limma to 7 edosteps.

94 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 94edo or 94ed2), also called 94-tone equal temperament (94tet) or 94 equal temperament (94et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 94 equal parts of about 12.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/94, or the 94th root of 2.

Theory

94edo is a remarkable well-rounded tuning system, good from low prime limit to very high prime limit situations. It is the first edo to be consistent through the 23-odd-limit, and no other edo is so consistent until 282 and 311 make their appearance.

Its step size is close to that of 144/143, which is consistently represented in this tuning system.

As a tuning of other temperaments

94edo is the sum of 41edo and 53edo, both of which are not only known for their approximation of Pythagorean tuning, but also support a variety of schismatic temperaments, like cassandra (which is itself a variety of garibaldi), tempering out 32805/32768, 225/224, and 385/384, and tempering together the syntonic, septimal, and pythagorean comma into the same interval.

94edo's fifth is the mediant of these two edos' fifths; it is ever so slightly sharp of just and only a hair less accurate than 53edo's fifth, but more accurate than 41edo's, and acts as a generator for a highly optimized and high-prime-limit form of cassandra. Few, if any, edos that support schismatic by patent val have at least as high of a consistency limit as 94edo while also having a fifth that can stack to reach any interval in it. Other non-garibaldi schismatic notable edos in the patent val are 118, 159, 171, 224, and 460.

The list of 23-limit commas it tempers out is huge (see below), and in lower prime limits, it also tempers out 3125/3087, 4000/3969, 5120/5103 and 540/539. It provides the optimal patent val for gassormic, the rank-5 temperament tempering out 275/273 (despite one edostep being very close in size to this comma), and for a number of other temperaments, such as isis.

94edo is an excellent edo for Carlos Beta scale, since the difference between 1 step of Carlos Beta and 5 steps of 94edo is only 0.00314534 cents.

Subsets and supersets

Since 94 factors into primes as 2 × 47, 94edo contains 2edo and 47edo as subset edos. It can be thought of as two sets of 47edo offset by one step of 94edo. It inherits from 47edo's good approximations of primes 5, 7, 13, and 17, while dramatically improving on prime 3, as well as primes 11, 19, and 23 to a lesser degree. Tripling 94edo yields 282edo, which converts flat-tending harmonics to sharp, so as to achieve distinct consistency through the 23-limit and consistency through the 29-limit.

Intervals

See also: Table of 94edo intervals

Assuming 23-limit patent val ⟨94 149 218 264 325 348 384 399 425], here is a table of intervals as approximated by 94edo steps, and their corresponding 13-limit well-ordered extended diatonic interval names. 'S/s' indicates alteration by the septimal comma, 64/63; 'K/k' indicates alteration by the syntonic comma, 81/80; 'U/u' by the undecimal quartertone, 33/32; 'L/l' by pentacircle comma, 896/891; 'O/o' by 45/44; 'R/r' by the rastma, 243/242; 'T/t' by the tridecimal quartertone, 1053/1024; and finally, 'H/h', by 40/39. Capital letters alter downward, lowercase alter upwards. Important 13-limit intervals approximated that are not associated with the extended diatonic interval names are added in brackets. Multiple alterations by 'K' down from augmented and major, or up from diminished and minor intervals are also added in brackets, along with their associated (5-limit) intervals.

There are perhaps nine functional minor thirds varying between 242.553 cents and 344.681 cents, and one can even go beyond those boundaries under the right conditions, so musicians playing in 94edo have a lot more flexibility in terms of the particular interval shadings they might use depending on context.

The perfect fifth has three, or perhaps even five, functional options, each differing by one step. The lower and higher variants provide a change in interval quality, and can be helpful in creating subsets which mimic other edos, and close the circle of fifths in different numbers of pitches. For example, a close approximation to 41edo can be made using a chain of forty 702.128 cent fifths and one wide fifth at 714.894 cents, with an improvement on the tuning of most simple consonances in close keys, but a 1-step variation in interval quality as one modulates to more distant keys.

Every odd-numbered interval can generate the entire tuning of 94edo except for the 600-cent tritone (47\94), which divides the octave exactly in half.

The regular major second divisible into 16 equal parts can be helpful for realising some of the subtle tunings of Ancient Greek tetrachordal theory, Indian raga and Turkish maqam, though it has not been used historically as a division in those musical cultures.

While having the whole gamut of 94 intervals available on a keyboard or other instrument would be quite a feat, one can get a lot out of a 41-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree wide) or a 53-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree narrow), where the subset behaves much like a well-temperament, arguably usable in all keys but with some interval size variation between closer and more distant keys.

Notation

Ups and downs notation

94edo can be written using Kite's ups and downs notation. Note that quudsharp (quadruple-down sharp) is equivalent to quip (quintuple-up) and that quupflat (quadruple-up flat) is equivalent to quid (quintuple-down):
