12edt corresponds to 7.571 edo, and can be used as a generator chain for [[Kleismic_family#Hemikleismic|hemikleismic temperament]]. From a no-twos point of view, it tempers out 49/45 and 27/25 in the 7-limit, and 1331/1125 and 1331/1225 in the 11-limit.

== Prime harmonics ==

== Theory ==

In octave land, 12edo handles the 2.3.5 subgroup and [[11edo]] handles the 2.7.11 subgroup—ie. meantone and orgone temperaments. In tritave land however, 13edt handles the 3.5.7 territory (Bohlen–Pierce) and 12edt handles the 2.3.5.13.17.19—and, it is a multiple of 4edt which is the simplest BP equal temperament.

=== Macrodiatonic and macromeantone ===

12edt can be viewed as a version of [[12edo]] with octaves stretched out to [[3/1|tritaves]], so it contains an extremely stretched diatonic scale or [[macrodiatonic]] {{mos scalesig|5L 2s<3/1>}} scale. This scale has an identical structure to diatonic, but with everything stretched out to be unrecognizable, since, for example, the [[generator]] is now the size of a major seventh instead of a perfect fifth. The stretched perfect fifth can be approximated by [[17/9]] and the stretched major third by [[13/9]]. This gives rise to a "macromeantone" temperament which operates in the 3.13.17 [[subgroup]], equating 4 [[17/9]] to [[13/9]] tritave-reduced, rather than 4 [[3/2]] to [[5/4]] octave-reduced (although this is not a completely exact stretching of meantone, unlike some macromeantones like [[meansquared]] which repeats at [[4/1]]).

Another example of a macrodiatonic scale is [[17ed5|hyperpyth]] which repeats at the fifth harmonic and is based on the 5:9:13:(17):(21) chord.

In octave land, 12edo handles the 2.3.5 subgroup and 11edo handles the 2.7.11 subgroup - ie. meantone and orgone temperaments. In tritave land however, 13edt handles the 3.5.7 territory (Bohlen-Pierce) and 12edt handles the 2.3.5.13.17.19 -- AND! it is a multiple of 4edt which is the simplest BP equal temperament. Now, exactly analogous to meantone, in which (3/2)^4=5/1, here (17/9)^4=(19/10)^4=13/1, tempering out the 171/170, 85293/83521 and 130321/130000 commas. In fact, even the MOS pattern is the same for this higher limit meantone! Relish the sweet 9:13:17 and 20:27:38 chords.
