255 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 255edo or 255ed2), also called 255-tone equal temperament (255tet) or 255 equal temperament (255et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 255 equal parts of about 4.71 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/255, or the 255th root of 2.

Theory

The equal temperament tempers out the parakleisma, [8 14 -13⟩, and the septendecima, [-52 -17 34⟩, in the 5-limit. In the 7-limit it tempers out 19683/19600 (cataharry comma), 16875/16807 (canopic comma), and 65625/65536 (horwell comma) so that it supports the mirkat temperament, and in fact provides the optimal patent val. It also gives the optimal patent val for mirkat in the 11-limit, tempering out 540/539, 1375/1372, 3025/3024 and 8019/8000. In the 13-limit it tempers out 847/845, 625/624, 1575/1573 and 1716/1715.

Subsets and supersets

Since 255 factors into 3 × 5 × 17, 255edo has subset edos 3, 5, 15, 17, 51, and 85.
