37edo is a scale derived from dividing the octave into 37 equal steps of approximately 32.43 cents each. It is the 12th [[xenharmonic/prime numbers|prime]] edo, following [[xenharmonic/31edo|31edo]] and coming before [[xenharmonic/41edo|41edo]].
Using its best (and sharp) fifth, 37edo tempers out 250/243, making it a variant of [[xenharmonic/porcupine|porcupine]] temperament. (It is the optimal patent val for [[Porcupine family#Porcupinefish|porcupinefish]], which is about as accurate as "13-limit porcupine" will be.) Using its alternative flat fifth, it tempers out 16875/16384, making it a [[xenharmonic/negri|negri]] tuning. It also tempers out 2187/2000, resulting in a temperament where three minor whole tones make up a fifth ([[xenharmonic/gorgo|gorgo]]/[[xenharmonic/laconic|laconic]]).
== Theory ==
37edo has very accurate approximations of harmonics [[5/1|5]], [[7/1|7]], [[11/1|11]] and [[13/1|13]], making it a good choice for a [[no-threes subgroup temperaments|no-threes]] approach. Harmonic 11 is particularly accurate, being only 0.03 cents sharp.
37 edo is also a very accurate equal tuning for Undecimation Temperament, which has a generator of about 519 cents; 2 generators lead to 29/16; 3 generators to 32/13; 6 generators to a 10 cent sharp 6/1; 8 generators to a very accurate 11/1 and 10 generators to 20/1. It has a 7L+2s nonatonic MOS, which in 37-edo scale degrees is 0, 1, 6, 11, 16, 17, 22, 27, 32, a scale structure reminiscent of mavila; as well as a 16 note MOS.

=Subgroups=
=== Odd harmonics ===
37edo offers close approximations to [[xenharmonic/OverToneSeries|harmonics]] 5, 7, 11, and 13 [and a usable approximation of 9 as well].
{{Harmonics in equal|37}}
12\37 = 389.2 cents
=== Subsets and supersets ===
30\37 = 973.0 cents
37edo is the 12th [[prime edo]], following [[31edo]] and coming before [[41edo]].
17\37 = 551.4 cents
26\37 = 843.2 cents
[6\37edo = 194.6 cents]
This means 37 is quite accurate on the 2.5.7.11.13 subgroup, where it shares the same tuning as 111et. In fact, on the larger [[xenharmonic/k*N subgroups|3*37 subgroup]] 2.27.5.7.11.13.51.57 subgroup not only shares the same tuning as 19-limit 111et, it tempers out the same commas. A simpler but less accurate approach is to use the 2*37-subgroup, 2.9.7.11.13.17.19, on which it has the same tuning and commas as 74et.
[[74edo]], which doubles it, provides an alternative approximation to harmonic 3 that supports [[meantone]]. [[111edo]], which triples it, gives a very accurate approximation of harmonic 3, and manifests itself as a great higher-limit system. [[296edo]], which slices its step in eight, is a good 13-limit system.
=The Two Fifths=
=== Subgroups ===
The just [[xenharmonic/perfect fifth|perfect fifth]] of frequency ratio 3:2 is not well-approximated, and falls between two intervals in 37edo:
37edo offers close approximations to [[Harmonic series|harmonics]] 5, 7, 11, and 13, and a usable approximation of 9 as well.
* 12\37 = 389.2 cents
* 30\37 = 973.0 cents
* 17\37 = 551.4 cents
* 26\37 = 843.2 cents
* [6\37 = 194.6 cents]
This means 37 is quite accurate on the 2.5.7.11.13 subgroup, where it shares the same tuning as [[111edo]]. In fact, on the larger [[k*N subgroups|3*37 subgroup]] 2.27.5.7.11.13.51.57 subgroup not only shares the same tuning as 19-limit 111edo, it tempers out the same commas. A simpler but less accurate approach is to use the 2*37-subgroup, 2.9.7.11.13.17.19, on which it has the same tuning and commas as [[74edo]].
=== Dual fifths ===
The just [[perfect fifth]] of frequency ratio 3:2 is not well-approximated, and falls between two intervals in 37edo:
The flat fifth is 21\37 = 681.1 cents (37b val)
The flat fifth is 21\37 = 681.1 cents
The sharp fifth is 22\37 = 713.5 cents
The sharp fifth is 22\37 = 713.5 cents
21\37 generates an anti-diatonic, or mavila, scale: 5 5 6 5 5 5 6
21\37 generates an anti-diatonic, or mavila, scale: 5 5 6 5 5 5 6
If the minor third of 259.5 cents is mapped to 7/6, this superpythagorean scale can be thought of as a variant of [[xenharmonic/The Biosphere|Biome]] temperament.
If the minor third of 259.5 cents is mapped to 7/6, this superpythagorean scale can be thought of as a variant of [[The Biosphere|Oceanfront]] temperament.
37edo can only barely be considered as "dual-fifth", because the sharp fifth is 12 cents sharp of 3/2, has a regular diatonic scale, and can be interpreted as somewhat accurate regular temperaments like [[archy]] and the aforementioned oceanfront. In contrast, the flat fifth is 21 cents flat and the only low-limit interpretation is as the very inaccurate [[mavila]].
Interestingly, the "major thirds" of both systems are not 12\37 = 389.2¢, the closest approximation to 5/4 available in 37edo.
Since both fifths do not support [[meantone]], the "major thirds" of both systems are not 12\37 = 389.2¢, the closest approximation to 5/4 available in 37edo.
37edo has great potential as a near-just xenharmonic system, with high-prime chords such as 8:10:11:13:14 with no perfect fifths available for common terrestrial progressions. The 9/8 approximation is usable but introduces error. One may choose to treat either of the intervals close to 3/2 as 3/2, introducing additional approximations with considerable error (see interval table below).

37edo is a scale derived from dividing the octave into 37 equal steps of approximately 32.43 cents each.

<br />
Using its best (and sharp) fifth, 37edo tempers out 250/243, making it a variant of <a class="wiki_link" href="http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/porcupine">porcupine</a> temperament. (It is the optimal patent val for <a class="wiki_link" href="/Porcupine%20family#Porcupinefish">porcupinefish</a>, which is about as accurate as &quot;13-limit porcupine&quot; will be.) Using its alternative flat fifth, it tempers out 16875/16384, making it a <a class="wiki_link" href="http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/negri">negri</a> tuning. It also tempers out 2187/2000, resulting in a temperament where three minor whole tones make up a fifth (<a class="wiki_link" href="http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/gorgo">gorgo</a>/<a class="wiki_link" href="http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/laconic">laconic</a>).<br />
<br />
37 edo is also a very accurate equal tuning for Undecimation Temperament, which has a generator of about 519 cents; 2 generators lead to 29/16; 3 generators to 32/13; 6 generators to a 10 cent sharp 6/1; 8 generators to a very accurate 11/1 and 10 generators to 20/1. It has a 7L+2s nonatonic MOS, which in 37-edo scale degrees is 0, 1, 6, 11, 16, 17, 22, 27, 32, a scale structure reminiscent of mavila; as well as a 16 note MOS.<br />

<br />
21\37 generates an anti-diatonic, or mavila, scale: 5 5 6 5 5 5 6<br />
If the minor third of 259.5 cents is mapped to 7/6, this superpythagorean scale can be thought of as a variant of <a class="wiki_link" href="http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/The%20Biosphere">Biome</a> temperament.<br />

37 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 37edo or 37ed2), also called 37-tone equal temperament (37tet) or 37 equal temperament (37et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 37 equal parts of about 32.4 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/37, or the 37th root of 2.
37edo has very accurate approximations of harmonics 5, 7, 11 and 13, making it a good choice for a no-threes approach. Harmonic 11 is particularly accurate, being only 0.03 cents sharp.
Using its best (and sharp) fifth, 37edo tempers out 250/243, making it a variant of porcupine temperament. It is the optimal patent val for porcupinefish, which is about as accurate as 13-limit porcupine extensions will be. Using its alternative flat fifth, it tempers out 16875/16384, making it a negri tuning. It also tempers out 2187/2000, resulting in a temperament where three minor whole tones make up a fifth (gorgo/laconic).
37edo is also a very accurate equal tuning for undecimation temperament, which has a generator of about 519 cents; 2 generators lead to 29/16; 3 generators to 32/13; 6 generators to a 10 cent sharp 6/1; 8 generators to a very accurate 11/1 and 10 generators to 20/1. It has a 7L 2s enneatonic mos, which in 37edo scale degrees is 0, 1, 6, 11, 16, 17, 22, 27, 32, a scale structure reminiscent of mavila; as well as a 16-note mos.
74edo, which doubles it, provides an alternative approximation to harmonic 3 that supports meantone. 111edo, which triples it, gives a very accurate approximation of harmonic 3, and manifests itself as a great higher-limit system. 296edo, which slices its step in eight, is a good 13-limit system.
Subgroups
37edo offers close approximations to harmonics 5, 7, 11, and 13, and a usable approximation of 9 as well.
12\37 = 389.2 cents
30\37 = 973.0 cents
17\37 = 551.4 cents
26\37 = 843.2 cents
[6\37 = 194.6 cents]
This means 37 is quite accurate on the 2.5.7.11.13 subgroup, where it shares the same tuning as 111edo. In fact, on the larger 3*37 subgroup 2.27.5.7.11.13.51.57 subgroup not only shares the same tuning as 19-limit 111edo, it tempers out the same commas. A simpler but less accurate approach is to use the 2*37-subgroup, 2.9.7.11.13.17.19, on which it has the same tuning and commas as 74edo.
Dual fifths
The just perfect fifth of frequency ratio 3:2 is not well-approximated, and falls between two intervals in 37edo:
The flat fifth is 21\37 = 681.1 cents (37b val)
The sharp fifth is 22\37 = 713.5 cents
21\37 generates an anti-diatonic, or mavila, scale: 5 5 6 5 5 5 6
If the minor third of 259.5 cents is mapped to 7/6, this superpythagorean scale can be thought of as a variant of Oceanfront temperament.
37edo can only barely be considered as "dual-fifth", because the sharp fifth is 12 cents sharp of 3/2, has a regular diatonic scale, and can be interpreted as somewhat accurate regular temperaments like archy and the aforementioned oceanfront. In contrast, the flat fifth is 21 cents flat and the only low-limit interpretation is as the very inaccurate mavila.
Since both fifths do not support meantone, the "major thirds" of both systems are not 12\37 = 389.2¢, the closest approximation to 5/4 available in 37edo.
37edo has great potential as a near-just xenharmonic system, with high-prime chords such as 8:10:11:13:14 with no perfect fifths available for common terrestrial progressions. The 9/8 approximation is usable but introduces error. One may choose to treat either of the intervals close to 3/2 as 3/2, introducing additional approximations with considerable error (see interval table below).
No-3 approach
If prime 3 is ignored, 37edo represents the no-3 23-odd-limit consistently, and is distinctly consistent within the no-3 16-integer-limit.
37et is most prominent in the no-3 11-, 13-, 17-, 19- and 23-limit subgroups. The next equal temperaments doing better in these subgroups are 109, 581, 103, 124 and 93, respectively.
