Using the full prime-limit [[patent val]], the equal temperament tempers out [[81/80]], [[1029/1024]], and [[3125/3072]] in the 7-limit; and [[99/98]], [[385/384]], [[441/440]], and [[625/616]] in the [[11-limit]]. A good generator to exploit the 2.5/3.7.11.13.17.19 aspect of 57 is the approximate [[11/8]], which is 26\57. This gives the [[19-limit]] 46 & 57 temperament [[heinz]]. It can also be used to tune [[mothra]] as well as [[trismegistus]].

57edo is interesting in that it is a [[dual-fifth]] system where both fifths are somewhat plausible. The 57b val uses the alternative fifth of 715.789 cents. While not very accurate in the 5 and 7-limits (being even worse than 19edo), it does support some interesting temperaments like [[sixix]] and a near-perfect 1/2-comma [[archy]] (such that the diatonic minor seventh is almost exactly [[7/4]]).

57 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 57edo or 57ed2), also called 57-tone equal temperament (57tet) or 57 equal temperament (57et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 57 equal parts of about 21.1 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/57, or the 57th root of 2.

Theory

57edo is an excellent tuning for the 2.5/3.7.11.13.17.19 just intonation subgroup. One way to describe 57edo is that it has a 5-limit part consisting of three rings of 19edo, plus a no-threes no-fives part which is much more accurate.

Using the full prime-limit patent val, the equal temperament tempers out 81/80, 1029/1024, and 3125/3072 in the 7-limit; and 99/98, 385/384, 441/440, and 625/616 in the 11-limit. A good generator to exploit the 2.5/3.7.11.13.17.19 aspect of 57 is the approximate 11/8, which is 26\57. This gives the 19-limit 46 & 57 temperament heinz. It can also be used to tune mothra as well as trismegistus.

57edo is interesting in that it is a dual-fifth system where both fifths are somewhat plausible. The 57b val uses the alternative fifth of 715.789 cents. While not very accurate in the 5 and 7-limits (being even worse than 19edo), it does support some interesting temperaments like sixix and a near-perfect 1/2-comma archy (such that the diatonic minor seventh is almost exactly 7/4).

Notation

Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation

57edo can be notated using Stein–Zimmermann–Gould notation:

Step offset 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Sharp symbol
Flat symbol

Here, a sharp raises by three steps, and a flat lowers by three steps, so arrows can be used to fill in the gap. If the arrows are taken to have their own layer of enharmonic spellings, some notes may be best spelled with double arrows.

Kite's ups and downs notation

Spoken as up, downsharp, sharp, upsharp, etc. Note that downsharp can be respelled as dup (double-up), and upflat as dud.

Sagittal notation

This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as edos 50, 64, and 71b, and is a superset of the notation for 19edo.

Evo flavor

Revo flavor

Sagittal notationPeriodic table of EDOs with sagittal notation1053/1024

In the diagrams above, a sagittal symbol followed by an equals sign (=) means that the following comma is the symbol's primary comma (the comma it exactly represents in JI), while an approximately equals sign (≈) means it is a secondary comma (a comma it approximately represents in JI). In both cases the symbol exactly represents the tempered version of the comma in this edo.

Instruments

Since 57edo contains 19edo as a non-trivial subset, it would be possible to use three 19edo instruments tuned 1\57 apart from each other to play the full gamut of 57edo.

A Lumatone mapping for 57edo is available.
