'''8 equal divisions of the tritave''' ('''8edt''') is the [[nonoctave]] [[tuning system]] derived by dividing the [[tritave]] (3/1) into 13 equal steps of 237.744 [[cent]]s each, or the eighth root of 3. As the double of [[~~4edt|~~4edt]]~~, harmonically~~, it is the analog of [[10edo]] ~~for~~ [[~~4L 5s (3/1-equivalent)|Lambda~~]]~~-based systems~~. However, the full 3:5:7 triad is already present in 4edt which is unlike the situation in 10edo where 4:5:6 gains a new better approximation than the sus4 triad in 5edo.

== Theory ==

As the double of [[4edt]], it is the analog of [[10edo]] being the double of [[5edo]]. However, the full 3:5:7 triad is already present in 4edt which is unlike the situation in 10edo where 4:5:6 gains a new better approximation than the sus4 triad in [[5edo]]. More precisely, 8edt is [[enfactoring|enfactored]] in the 3.5.7 subgroup.

What it does introduce are flat ~~pseudooctaves~~ and sharp 3:2's, making it related to 5edo melodically.

What it does introduce are flat [[2/1]] pseudo-octaves and sharp [[3/2]] perfect fifths, making it related to 5edo melodically. It is equivalent to 5edo with the [[3/1]] made just, by compressing the octave by 11.3 cents, which has the side effect of bringing the step size slightly closer to [[8/7]].
