94 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 94edo or 94ed2), also called 94-tone equal temperament (94tet) or 94 equal temperament (94et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 94 equal parts of about 12.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/94, or the 94th root of 2.

Theory

94edo is a remarkable all-around utility tuning system, good from low prime limit to very high prime limit situations. It is the first edo to be consistent through the 23-odd-limit, and no other edo is so consistent until 282 and 311 make their appearance.

Its step size is close to that of 144/143, which is consistently represented in this tuning system.

As a tuning of other temperaments

94edo can also be thought of as the "sum" of 41edo and 53edo (41 + 53 = 94), both of which are not only known for their approximation of Pythagorean tuning, but also support a variety of schismatic temperament known as cassandra (which is itself a variety of garibaldi), tempering out 32805/32768, 225/224, and 385/384. Therefore, 94edo's fifth is the mediant of these two edos' fifths; it is slightly sharp of just and less accurate than 53edo's fifth, but more accurate than 41edo's, and acts as a generator for a highly optimized and high-prime-limit form of cassandra. Few, if any, edos that support schismatic by patent val have at least as high of a consistency limit as 94edo while also having a fifth that can stack to reach any interval in it.

The list of 23-limit commas it tempers out is huge, and in lower prime limits, it also tempers out 3125/3087, 4000/3969, 5120/5103 and 540/539. It provides the optimal patent val for gassormic, the rank-5 temperament tempering out 275/273 (despite one edostep being very close in size to this comma), and for a number of other temperaments, such as isis.

94edo is an excellent edo for Carlos Beta scale, since the difference between 1 step of Carlos Beta and 5 steps of 94edo is only 0.00314534 cents.

Subsets and supersets

Since 94 factors into primes as 2 × 47, 94edo contains 2edo and 47edo as subset edos. It can be thought of as two sets of 47edo offset by one step of 94edo. It inherits from 47edo's good approximations of primes 5, 7, 13, and 17, while dramatically improving on prime 3, as well as primes 11, 19, and 23 to a lesser degree.

Intervals

See also: Table of 94edo intervals

Assuming 23-limit patent val ⟨94 149 218 264 325 348 384 399 425], here is a table of intervals as approximated by 94edo steps, and their corresponding 13-limit well-ordered extended diatonic interval names. 'S/s' indicates alteration by the septimal comma, 64/63; 'K/k' indicates alteration by the syntonic comma, 81/80; 'U/u' by the undecimal quartertone, 33/32; 'L/l' by pentacircle comma, 896/891; 'O/o' by 45/44; 'R/r' by the rastma, 243/242; 'T/t' by the tridecimal quartertone, 1053/1024; and finally, 'H/h', by 40/39. Capital letters alter downward, lowercase alter upwards. Important 13-limit intervals approximated that are not associated with the extended diatonic interval names are added in brackets. Multiple alterations by 'K' down from augmented and major, or up from diminished and minor intervals are also added in brackets, along with their associated (5-limit) intervals.

There are perhaps nine functional minor thirds varying between 242.553 cents and 344.681 cents, and one can even go beyond those boundaries under the right conditions, so musicians playing in 94edo have a lot more flexibility in terms of the particular interval shadings they might use depending on context.

The perfect fifth has three, or perhaps even five, functional options, each differing by one step. The lower and higher variants provide a change in interval quality, and can be helpful in creating subsets which mimic other edos, and close the circle of fifths in different numbers of pitches. For example, a close approximation to 41edo can be made using a chain of forty 702.128 cent fifths and one wide fifth at 714.894 cents, with an improvement on the tuning of most simple consonances in close keys, but a 1-step variation in interval quality as one modulates to more distant keys.

Every odd-numbered interval can generate the entire tuning of 94edo except for the 600-cent tritone (47\94), which divides the octave exactly in half.

The regular major second divisible into 16 equal parts can be helpful for realising some of the subtle tunings of Ancient Greek tetrachordal theory, Indian raga and Turkish maqam, though it has not been used historically as a division in those musical cultures.

While having the whole gamut of 94 intervals available on a keyboard or other instrument would be quite a feat, one can get a lot out of a 41-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree wide) or a 53-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree narrow), where the subset behaves much like a well-temperament, arguably usable in all keys but with some interval size variation between closer and more distant keys.

Notation

94edo can be notated in Sagittal using the Athenian extension, with the apotome equating to 9 edosteps and the limma to 7 edosteps.

Below are some 23-limit temperaments supported by 94et. It might be noted that 94, a very good tuning for garibaldi temperament, shows us how to extend it to the 23-limit.

46 & 94
68 & 94
53 & 94 (one garibaldi)
41 & 94 (another garibaldi, only differing in the mappings of 17 and 23)
135 & 94 (another garibaldi)
130 & 94 (a pogo extension)
58 & 94 (a supers extension)
50 & 94
72 & 94 (a gizzard extension)
80 & 94
94 solo (a rank one temperament!)

Temperaments to which 94et can be detempered:

Satin (94 & 311)
94 & 422

Scales

Instruments

94edo can be played on the Lumatone, although due to the sheer number of notes it does require compromises in either the range or gamut:

One can also use a skip fretting system:

It is a remarkable all-around utility temperament, good from low prime limit to very high prime limit situations.

It provides the optimal patent val for the rank five temperament tempering out 275/273, and for a number of other temperaments, such as [[Marvel family#Isis|isis]].

+edo is a remarkable all-around utility tuning system, good from low [[prime limit]] to very high prime limit situations. It is the first edo to be [[consistent]] through the [[23-odd-limit]], and no other edo is so consistent until [[282edo|282]] and [[311edo|311]] make their appearance.

+edo can also be thought of as the "sum" of [[41edo]] and [[53edo]] {{nowrap|(41 + 53 {{=}} 94)}}, both of which are not only known for their approximation of [[Pythagorean tuning]], but also support a variety of [[Schismatic family|schismatic temperament]] known as [[Schismatic family#Cassandra|cassandra]] (which is itself a variety of [[Schismatic family#Garibaldi|garibaldi]]), tempering out [[32805/32768]], [[225/224]], and [[385/384]]. Therefore, 94edo's fifth is the [[mediant]] of these two edos' fifths; it is slightly sharp of just and less accurate than 53edo's fifth, but more accurate than 41edo's, and acts as a generator for a highly optimized and high-prime-limit form of cassandra. Few, if any, edos that support schismatic by [[Val|patent val]] have at least as high of a consistency limit as 94edo while also having a fifth that can stack to reach any interval in it.

+The list of 23-limit commas it tempers out is huge, and in lower prime limits, it also tempers out [[3125/3087]], [[4000/3969]], [[5120/5103]] and [[540/539]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for gassormic, the rank-5 temperament tempering out [[275/273]] (despite one edostep being very close in size to this comma), and for a number of other temperaments, such as [[isis]].

+Since 94 factors into primes as {{nowrap| 2 × 47 }}, 94edo contains [[2edo]] and [[47edo]] as subset edos. It can be thought of as two sets of 47edo offset by one step of 94edo. It inherits from 47edo's good approximations of primes 5, 7, 13, and 17, while dramatically improving on prime 3, as well as primes 11, 19, and 23 to a lesser degree.

+Assuming [[23-limit]] [[patent val]] {{val| 94 149 218 264 325 348 384 399 425 }}, here is a table of intervals as approximated by [[94edo]] steps, and their corresponding 13-limit well-ordered extended diatonic interval names. 'S/s' indicates alteration by the septimal comma, [[64/63]]; 'K/k' indicates alteration by the syntonic comma, [[81/80]]; 'U/u' by the undecimal quartertone, [[33/32]]; 'L/l' by pentacircle comma, [[896/891]]; 'O/o' by [[45/44]]; 'R/r' by the rastma, [[243/242]]; 'T/t' by the tridecimal quartertone, [[1053/1024]]; and finally, 'H/h', by [[40/39]]. Capital letters alter downward, lowercase alter upwards. Important 13-limit intervals approximated that are not associated with the extended diatonic interval names are added in brackets. Multiple alterations by 'K' down from augmented and major, or up from diminished and minor intervals are also added in brackets, along with their associated (5-limit) intervals.

+There are perhaps nine functional minor thirds varying between 242.553 cents and 344.681 cents, and one can even go beyond those boundaries under the right conditions, so musicians playing in 94edo have a lot more flexibility in terms of the particular interval shadings they might use depending on context.
+The perfect fifth has three, or perhaps even five, functional options, each differing by one step. The lower and higher variants provide a change in interval quality, and can be helpful in creating subsets which mimic other edos, and close the circle of fifths in different numbers of pitches. For example, a close approximation to 41edo can be made using a chain of forty 702.128 cent fifths and one wide fifth at 714.894 cents, with an improvement on the tuning of most simple consonances in close keys, but a 1-step variation in interval quality as one modulates to more distant keys.
+Every odd-numbered interval can generate the entire tuning of 94edo except for the 600-cent [[tritone]] (47\94), which divides the octave exactly in half.
+The regular major second divisible into 16 equal parts can be helpful for realising some of the subtle tunings of Ancient Greek [[tetrachord]]al theory, [[Indian]] raga and Turkish [[maqam]], though it has not been used historically as a division in those musical cultures.
+While having the whole gamut of 94 intervals available on a keyboard or other instrument would be quite a feat, one can get a lot out of a 41-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree wide) or a 53-tone chain of fifths (with the odd fifth one degree narrow), where the subset behaves much like a well-temperament, arguably usable in all keys but with some interval size variation between closer and more distant keys.
+== Notation ==
+edo can be notated in [[Sagittal notation|Sagittal]] using the [[Sagittal_notation#Athenian_extension_single-shaft|Athenian extension]], with the apotome equating to 9 edosteps and the limma to 7 edosteps.

It is a remarkable all-around utility temperament, good from low prime limit to very high prime limit situations. It is the first equal temperament to be&lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/consistent"&gt; consistent&lt;/a&gt; though the &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/23-limit"&gt;23-limit&lt;/a&gt;, and no other equal temperament is so consistent until 282 and 311 make their appearance.&lt;br /&gt;
-&lt;br /&gt;
-The list of 23-limit commas it tempers out is huge, but it's worth noting that it tempers out 32805/32768 and is thus a schismatic system, that it tempers out 225/224 and 385/384 and so is a marvel system, and that it also tempers out 3125/3087, 4000/3969, 5120/5103 and 540/539.
