509edo has a sharp tendency in lower [[harmonic]]s. It is only consistent to the [[7-odd-limit]] due to harmonic [[3/1|3]] being too sharp, causing harmonic [[9/1|9]] to become inconsistent, but the [[13-limit]] [[TE tuning]] of this temperament is consistent to the 15-integer-limit, so one might want to keep the [[octave stretch|octave compression]] tight.

509 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 509edo or 509ed2), also called 509-tone equal temperament (509tet) or 509 equal temperament (509et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 509 equal parts of about 2.36 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/509, or the 509th root of 2.

Theory

509edo has a sharp tendency in lower harmonics. It is only consistent to the 7-odd-limit due to harmonic 3 being too sharp, causing harmonic 9 to become inconsistent. However, the 13-limit TE tuning of this temperament is consistent to the 15-integer-limit, so one might want to keep the octave compression tight.

As an equal temperament, it tempers out 1600000/1594323 (amity comma) in the 5-limit; 2401/2400 (breedsma) and 29360128/29296875 (quasiorwellisma) in the 7-limit; and 3025/3024, 5632/5625, 41503/41472, 42592/42525, 151263/151250, 172032/171875, 180224/180075, 322102/321489, 422576/421875, 456533/455625, and 1953125/1948617 in the 11-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for petrtri, the 2.11/5.13/5-subgroup temperament tempering out 2200/2197.
