The '''1200 edo''' divides the octave in 1200 equal parts of exactly 1 [[cent]] each. It is notable mostly because it is the equal division corresponding to cents.

==Theory==
1200edo is notable for being the equal division of the octave whose step size corresponds to exactly 1 [[cent]].
{{primes in edo|1200|columns=15}}


1200edo is uniquely [[consistent]] through the [[11-limit]], which means the intervals of the 11-limit [[tonality diamond]], and hence their size in cents rounded to the nearest integer, can be found by applying the 11-limit [[patent val]] {{val| 1200 1902 2786 3369 4151 }}. It is [[contorted]] in the [[5-limit]], having the same mapping as 600edo. In the [[7-limit]], it tempers out 2460375/2458624 and 95703125/95551488, leading to a temperament it supports with a period of 1/3 octave and a generator which is an approximate 225/224 of 7\1200, also supported by [[171edo]]. In the 11-limit, it tempers out 9801/9800, 234375/234256 and 825000/823543, leading to a temperament with a half-octave period and an approximate 99/98 generator of 17\1200, also supported by [[494edo]]. In the 7-limit, it provides a val, 1200ccd, which is extremely closely close to the 7-limit [[POTE tuning]] of [[quadritikleismic temperament]]: {{val| 1200 1902 2785 3368 }}. It also provides the optimal patent val for the 224&752 temperament tempering out 2200/2197, 4096/4095, 9801/9800 and 35750/35721.
== Theory ==
1200edo is [[consistency|distinctly consistent]] through the [[11-odd-limit]]. This means that whole-cent approximations of the 11-odd-limit [[tonality diamond]] intervals are conveniently represented through the 11-limit [[patent val]] {{val| 1200 1902 2786 3369 4151 }}. It is [[enfactoring|enfactored]] in the [[5-limit]], having the same tuning as [[600edo]].

The equal temperament [[tempering out|tempers out]] 2460375/2458624 and 95703125/95551488 in the [[7-limit]], supporting the 171 & 1029 temperament, with a period of 1/3 octave and a generator which is an approximate [[225/224]] of 7\1200. It tempers out [[9801/9800]], 234375/234256 and 825000/823543 in the 11-limit, supporting the 494 & 706 temperament, with a half-octave period and an approximate 99/98 generator of 17\1200.

It also provides a 7-limit val, 1200ccd, which is extremely closely close to the 7-limit [[POTE tuning]] of [[quadritikleismic temperament]]: {{val| 1200 1902 2785 3368 }}. It also provides the optimal patent val for the 224 & 976 temperament tempering out [[2200/2197]], [[4096/4095]], 9801/9800 and 35750/35721.
 
Upwards to the 47-limit, 1200edo offers relatively accurate approximations for 2, 3, 7, 17, 31, 41, and 47, and in the 2.3.7.17.31.41.47 [[subgroup]] it tempers out 2304/2303, 3808/3807, 6273/6272, 506447/506268, 632056/632043, 10218313/10214416. The 47th harmonic is 6666 steps and 666 steps reduced – a mathematical coincidence in our decimal system.

The nontrivial divisors of 1200 are {{EDOs| 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 25, 30, 40, 48, 50, 60, 75, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, 240, 300, 400, and 600 }}. These are all the edos whose step size is an integer amount of cents, and thus can be played exactly on any digital audio workstation that offers detuning by cents.
