{{ED intro}}
72-tone equal temperament (or 72-edo) divides the octave into 72 steps or //moria//. This produces a twelfth-tone tuning, with the whole tone measuring 200 cents, the same as in 12-tone equal temperament. 72-tone is also a superset of [[24edo|24-tone equal temperament]], a common and standard tuning of [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Arabic]] music, and has itself been used to tune Turkish music.


Composers that used 72-tone include Alois Hába, Ivan Wyschnegradsky, Julián Carillo (who is better associated with [[96edo|96-edo]]), Iannis Xenakis, Ezra Sims, James Tenney and the jazz musician Joe Maneri.
Each step of 72edo is called a ''[[morion]]'' (plural ''moria)''. This produces a twelfth-tone tuning, with the whole tone measuring 200{{c}}, the same as in [[12edo]]. 72edo is also a superset of [[24edo]], a common and standard tuning of [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian music|Arabic music]], and has itself been used to tune Turkish music.


72-tone equal temperament approximates [[11-limit|11-limit just intonation]] exceptionally well, is consistent in the [[17-limit]], and is the ninth [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists|Zeta integral tuning]]. The octave, fifth and fourth are the same size as they would be in 12-tone, 72, 42 and 30 steps respectively, but the major third (5/4) measures 23 steps, not 24, and other major intervals are one step flat of 12-et while minor ones are one step sharp. The septimal minor seventh (7/4) is 58 steps, while the undecimal semiaugmented fourth (11/8) is 33.
Composers that used 72edo include [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]], [[Julián Carrillo]] (who is better associated with [[96edo]]), [[Georg Friedrich Haas]], [[Ezra Sims]], [[Rick Tagawa]], [[James Tenney]], and the jazz musician [[Joe Maneri]].


72 is an excellent tuning for [[Gamelismic clan|miracle temperament]], especially the 11-limit version, and the related rank three temperament [[Marvel family#Prodigy|prodigy]], and is a good tuning for other temperaments and scales, including wizard, harry, catakleismic, compton, unidec and tritikleismic.
== Theory ==
72edo approximates [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]] exceptionally well. It is [[consistent]] in the [[17-odd-limit]] and is the ninth [[zeta integral edo]]. It is the second edo (after [[58edo|58]]) to be [[consistency|distinctly consistent]] in the [[11-odd-limit]], the first edo to be [[consistency|consistent to distance 2]] in the 11-odd-limit, and the first edo to be consistent in the 12- and 13-[[odd prime sum limit|odd-prime-sum-limit]].  


=Harmonic Scale=
The octave, fifth and fourth are the same size as they would be in 12edo, 72, 42 and 30 steps respectively, but the classic major third ([[5/4]]) measures 23 steps, not 24, and other [[5-limit]] major intervals are one step flat of 12edo while minor ones are one step sharp. The septimal minor seventh ([[7/4]]) is 58 steps, while the undecimal semiaugmented fourth ([[11/8]]) is 33.
Mode 8 of the harmonic series -- [[overtone scales|overtones 8 through 16]], octave repeating -- is well-represented in 72edo. Note that all the different step sizes are distinguished, except for 13:12 and 14:13 (conflated to 8\72edo, 133.3 cents) and 15:14 and 16:15 (conflated to 7\72edo, 116.7 cents, the generator for miracle temperament).

72et is the only 11-limit regular temperament which treats harmonics 24 to 28 as being equidistant in pitch, splits [[25/24]] into two equal [[49/48]][[~]][[50/49]]'s, and splits [[28/27]] into two equal [[55/54]]~[[56/55]]'s. It is also an excellent tuning for [[miracle]] temperament, especially the 11-limit version, and the related rank-3 temperament [[prodigy]], and is a good tuning for other temperaments and scales, including [[wizard]], [[harry]], [[catakleismic]], [[compton]], [[unidec]] and [[tritikleismic]].

The 13th harmonic (octave reduced) is so closely mapped on [[acoustic phi]] that 72edo could be treated as a 2.3.5.7.11.ϕ.17 temperament.

=Z function=
72edo is the smallest multiple of 12edo that (just barely) has another diatonic fifth, 43\72, an extremely hard diatonic fifth suitable for a 5edo [[circulating temperament]].
72edo is the ninth [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists|zeta integral edo]], as well as being a peak and gap edo, and the maximum value of the [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#The%20Z%20function|Z function]] in the region near 72 occurs at 71.9506, giving an octave of 1200.824 cents, the stretched octaves of the zeta tuning. Below is a plot of Z in the region around 72.

72edo's approximations of harmonics 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and 17 can all be improved by slightly [[stretched and compressed tuning|stretching the octave]], using tunings such as [[114edt]] or [[186ed6]]. 114edt is quite hard and might be best for the 13- or 17-limit specifically. 186ed6 is milder and less disruptive, suitable for 11-limit and/or full 19-limit harmonies.

Since 72 factors into primes as {{nowrap| 2<sup>3</sup> × 3<sup>2</sup> }}, 72edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, and 36 }}. [[144edo]], which doubles it, provides a possible correction to its approximate harmonic 13.

All 72edo chords can be named using ups and downs. An up, down or mid after the chord root affects the 3rd, 6th, 7th, and/or the 11th (every other note of a stacked-3rds chord 6-1-3-5-7-9-11-13). Alterations are always enclosed in parentheses, additions never are. Here are the zo, gu, ilo, yo and ru triads:
        &lt;td&gt;2/1&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;

Then, after each subsequent degree in reverse, a new prime limit is unveiled from it:
  &lt;!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:6:&amp;lt;h1&amp;gt; --&gt;&lt;h1 id="toc3"&gt;&lt;a name="Linear temperaments"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:6 --&gt;Linear temperaments&lt;/h1&gt;
* −1 degree (the down ring) corrects 81/64 to 5/4 via 80/81
* −2 degrees (the dud ring) corrects 16/9 to 7/4 via 63/64
* +3 degrees (the trup ring) corrects 4/3 to 11/8 via 33/32
* +2 degrees (the dup ring) corrects 128/81 to 13/8 via 1053/1024
* 0 degrees (the plain ring) corrects 256/243 to 17/16 via 4131/4096
* 0 degrees (the plain ring) corrects 32/27 to 19/16 via 513/512
Thus the product of a ratio's monzo with {{map| 0 0 -1 -2 3 2 0 0 }}, modulo 6, specifies which ring the ratio lies on.

Half-sharps and half-flats can be used to avoid triple arrows:

72edo is the ninth &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/The%20Riemann%20Zeta%20Function%20and%20Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists"&gt;zeta integral edo&lt;/a&gt;, as well as being a peak and gap edo, and the maximum value of the &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/The%20Riemann%20Zeta%20Function%20and%20Tuning#The%20Z%20function"&gt;Z function&lt;/a&gt; in the region near 72 occurs at 71.9506, giving an octave of 1200.824 cents, the stretched octaves of the zeta tuning. Below is a plot of Z in the region around 72.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Alternative symbols for ups and downs notation#Sharp-6| Alternative ups and downs]] have sharps and flats with arrows borrowed from extended [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]]:

If double arrows are not desirable, arrows can be attached to quarter-tone accidentals:

=== Harmonic scale ===
Mode 8 of the harmonic series&mdash;[[overtone scale|harmonics 8 through 16]], octave repeating&mdash;is well-represented in 72edo. Note that all the different step sizes are distinguished, except for 13:12 and 14:13 (conflated to 8\72edo, 133.3 cents) and 15:14 and 16:15 (conflated to 7\72edo, 116.7 cents, the generator for miracle temperament).

== Instruments ==
If one can get six 12edo instruments tuned a twelfth-tone apart, it is possible to use these instruments in combination to play the full gamut of 72edo (see Music).
 
One can also use a skip fretting system:
* [[Skip fretting system 72 2 27]]
 
Alternatively, an appropriately mapped keyboard of sufficient size is usable for playing 72edo:
