The character of 14edo does not well serve those seeking low-limit JI approaches, with the exception of 5:7:9:11:17:19 (which is quite well approximated, relative to other JI approximations of the low-numbered EDOs). However, the ratios 7/5, 7/6, 9/7, 10/7, 10/9, 11/7, 11/9, and 11/10 are all recognizably approximated, and if you accept that 14edo offers approximations of these intervals, you end up with a low-complexity, high-damage 11-limit temperament where the commas listed at the bottom of this page are tempered out. This leads to some of the bizarre equivalences described in the second "Approximate Ratios" column in the table below.

14et has quite a bit of xenharmonic appeal, in a similar way to 17et, on account of having three types of 3rd and three types of 6th, rather than the usual two of 12et. Since 14et also has a recognizable 4th and 5th, this makes it good for those wishing to explore alternative triadic harmonies without adding significantly more notes. It possesses a triad-rich 9-note MOS scale of [[5L 4s]], wherein 7 of 9 notes are tonic to a subminor, supermajor, and/or neutral triad.

14edo contains an [[omnidiatonic]] scale that can replace the standard diatonic scale, allowing for recognizable triadic harmony using the chords [[6:7:9]] and [[14:18:21]], as well as a neutral chord which can be seen as [[2:sqrt(6):3]].

=== Octave stretch ===
14edo benefits from [[octave stretch]] as harmonics 3, 7, and 11 are all tuned flat. [[22edt]], [[36ed6]] and [[42zpi]] are among the possible choices.
=== Subsets and supersets ===
Since 14 factors into primes as 2 × 7, 14edo contains [[2edo]] and [[7edo]] as subsets.

=== Sagittal notation ===
This notation uses the same sagittal sequence as [[9edo#Sagittal notation|9-EDO]], is a subset of the notations for EDOs [[28edo#Sagittal notation|28]] and [[42edo#Second-best fifth notation|42b]], and is a superset of the notation for [[7edo#Sagittal notation|7-EDO]].

=== Beep[9] ===
==== Beep[9] ====
14edo is also the largest edo whose patent val [[support]]s [[beep]] temperament, tempering out the chromatic semitone (21:20), and falling toward the "brittle" (fifths wider than in 9edo) end of that spectrum. beep is one of the simplest 7-limit temperaments, although rather inaccurate (the 7:5 is mapped onto 6\14, over 70 cents flat). Its otonal/major and utonal/minor tetrads are inversions of one another, which allows a greater variety of chord progressions (since different inversions of the same chord may have very different expressive qualities). Despite being so heavily tempered, the tetrads are still recognizable and aren't unpleasant-sounding as long as one uses the right timbres ("bell-like" or opaque-sounding ones probably work best). beep forms enneatonic modes which are melodically strong and are very similar to diatonic modes, only with two mediants and submediants instead of one. Beep[9] has similarities to mavila, slendro, and pelog scales as well.
