Ed8 scales also have the feature that they ascend the pitch continuum three times as fast as edo systems. 31 steps of 31edo is one octave, while 31 steps of 31ed8 is three octaves. Thus, fewer bars would be needed on a metallophone, fewer keys on a keyboard, etc. | Ed8 scales also have the feature that they ascend the pitch continuum three times as fast as edo systems. 31 steps of 31edo is one octave, while 31 steps of 31ed8 is three octaves.

The 8th harmonic or octuple is particularly wide as far as [[equivalence]]s go, as there are | The 8th harmonic or octuple is particularly wide as far as [[equivalence]]s go, as there are about 3.3 instances of the 8th harmonic within the [[human hearing range]]. If one does indeed deal with equivalence of the 8th harmonic, this range restriction is a crucial consideration (although division of 8/1 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an equivalence). | ||
