{{ED intro}}  
 
It is notable for being the equal division corresponding to a standard [[MIDI]] piano roll of 128 notes - hence the largest equal division representable for the span of one whole [[octave]] on a standard MIDI roll.

The equal temperament [[tempering out|tempers out]] 2109375/2097152 ([[semicomma]]) in the [[5-limit]]; [[245/243]], [[1029/1024]] and [[5120/5103]] in the 7-limit; [[385/384]] and [[441/440]] in the 11-limit. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for [[7-limit]] [[rodan]], the 41 & 87 temperament, as well as for 7-limit [[fourfives]], the 60 & 68 temperament.
