A step of 196608edo is known as the '''MIDI Tuning Standard unit''' ('''MTSU''') or '''tetradecamu''' (fourteenth MIDI-resolution unit, 14mu, 2<sup>14</sup> = 16384 equal divisions of the [[12edo]] semitone). The 14mu is specified in the [[MIDI]] spec (1983) as the smallest increment available for the pitch-bend controller, and as the frequency data format for MTS (1999). The 14mu is the smallest unit of tuning resolution which has ever been put into common musical use, and provides extremely accurate tuning in microtonal electronic music.

The main application of 196608edo is thus not as a compositional device, but as a technical tuning standard. If we adopt direct approximation, some JI intervals are indeed improved, which makes sense since we are only quantizing JI to the grid of this edo.
