9edf corresponds to 15.385602edo. It is closely related to [[Carlos Alpha]] (though the Carlos Alpha generator is 0.03{{C}} narrower at 77.965{{C}}), and can be used as a temperament of the 3/2.5/4.8/7.11/8 subgroup. [[Valentine]] can be seen as 9edf with an independent dimension for 2.

9 equal divisions of the perfect fifth (abbreviated 9edf or 9ed3/2) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/2 into 9 equal parts of about 78 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (3/2)1/9, or the 9th root of 3/2.

Theory

9edf corresponds to 15.385602edo. It is closely related to Carlos Alpha (though the Carlos Alpha generator is 0.03 ¢ narrower at 77.965 ¢), and can be used as a temperament of the 3/2.5/4.8/7.11/8 subgroup. Valentine can be seen as 9edf with an independent dimension for 2.

None of these scales are approximated from another tuning unless specified otherwise. For exact cents values see User:BudjarnLambeth/Longer versions of scales#9edf.

Music

See Carlos Alpha #Music. Many are tuned to exactly 9edf.
