The ''150 equal division'' divides the octave into 150 equal steps exactly 8 cents each. This means eleven such steps are 88 cents, relating 150edo to the [[88cET|88cET]] nonoctave tuning. It tempers out 245/243, 4000/3969 and 2401/2400 in the 7-limit, 896/891, 385/384 and 1375/1372 in the 11-limit, and 352/351, 364/363, 676/675 and 1575/1573 in the 134-limit. It is contorted in the 5-limit, tempering out the same commas as [[75edo|75edo]], including 20000/19683 and 2109375/2097152. It provides a good tuning for [[Tetracot_family#Octacot|Tetracot family]], for which 88 cents provides a generator.

150 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 150edo or 150ed2), also called 150-tone equal temperament (150tet) or 150 equal temperament (150et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 150 equal parts of exactly 8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/150, or the 150th root of 2.

Theory

150edo is contorted in the 5-limit, tempering out the same commas as 75edo, including 20000/19683 and 2109375/2097152. However, every 11th step of 150edo is equal to the 88cET nonoctave tuning, which is also represented as octacot through a regular temperament theory perspective. It provides a good tuning for octacot, for which 88 ¢ provides a generator.

The equal temperament tempers out 245/243, 2401/2400, and 4000/3969 in the 7-limit, 385/384, 896/891, and 1375/1372 in the 11-limit, and 352/351, 364/363, 676/675 and 1575/1573 in the 13-limit.

Subsets and supersets

Since 150 factors into 2 × 3 × 52, 150edo has subset edos 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, and 75.
