402,653,184-EDO is an [[Equal-step tuning|equal-step]] tuning system that allows for finer subdivisions within the standard 128-note [[MIDI]] scale based on [[12edo|12-EDO]], using 32-bit data.

Since 128 notes equal 2^7, this leaves 25 additional bits for further subdivision of the 12-tone equal temperament. By calculating 12 * 2^25, we arrive at a system with 402,653,184 equally spaced divisions of the octave.
This tuning is more notable for use in [[software]] rather than for its musical properties.

The step size is about 2.98 × 10^-6 cents, meaning that intervals rounded to this system have a precision of 1.49 × 10^-6 cents. At 20000 Hz, the phase precision is approximately 16 hours.
