'''32afdo''' ([[AFDO|arithmetic frequency division of the octave]]), or '''32odo''' ([[otonal division]] of the octave), divides the octave into 32 parts of 1/32 each. As a scale it may be known as [[Harmonic mode|mode 32 of the harmonic series]] or the [[Overtone scale #Over-n scales|Over-32]] scale.

Harmonics 32–64
Prime factorization 25
Fifth 48/32 (701.955c)

The harmonic segment 32::64 (also harmonics 32–64) consists of harmonics 32 through 64 (32:33:…:64) and spans one octave above the root. Used as a scale, it is also called mode 32 of the harmonic series.

The smallest edo that maintains 25% or lower relative error on all intervals of this scale 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
