The '''1200 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''1200edo'''), or the '''1200(-tone) equal temperament''' ('''1200tet''', '''1200et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 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]].
 
== 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.

Upwards to the 47-limit, 1200edo offers good approximations (less than 17%, one standard deviation) for 2, 3, 7, 17, 31, 41, and 47 harmonics. Uniquely, 47th harmonic is 6666 steps normally and 666 steps reduced. The divisors of 1200 are {{EDOs|1, 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, 600}}. These are all the EDOs whose step size is an integer amount of cents, and which can be played exactly on any digital audio workstation that offers detuning by cents.


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 [[support]]s 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.
=== Subsets and supersets ===
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.
