219edo is the equal division of the octave into 214 parts of 5.4795 cents each. It is incosistent in the [[5-odd-limit]] as well as higher odd-limits and tempers out the following commas up to the 13-limit: 32805/32768 in the 5-limit; 243/242,  441/440 and 65536/65219 in the 11-limit; 364/363 in the 13-limit. The patent val for 219-EDO is <214 347 509 615|. Its approximations to lower harmonics are <i>exceptionally bad</i> with at least a 10% error (relative to the step size) up to the 29th harmonic and just below 5% for the 31st harmonic. If anything, it can be considered as a 2.17/3.23/11.31 subgroup tuning. One can see that there are much better alternatives to 219EDO if the goal is to mimick just intonation, for example [[212edo]] (being an extension of [[53edo]]) or [[217edo]] (being an extension of [[31edo]]).

219 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 219edo or 219ed2), also called 219-tone equal temperament (219tet) or 219 equal temperament (219et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 219 equal parts of about 5.48 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/219, or the 219th root of 2.

Theory

219edo is inconsistent in the 5-odd-limit as well as higher odd limits. Its approximations to lower harmonics are exceptionally bad: 5, 11, and 13 are about halfway between its steps, and 19 and 23 are off by about a third step. If anything, it can be considered as a 2.3.7.17.29.31 subgroup tuning. One can see that there are much better alternatives to 219edo if the goal is to mimick just intonation, for example 212edo (being a superset of 53edo) or 217edo (being a superset of 31edo).

The patent val for 219edo is 214 347 509 615 758 810], which tempers out the following commas up to the 13-limit: 32805/32768 in the 5-limit; 243/242, 441/440 and 65536/65219 in the 11-limit; 364/363 in the 13-limit.

Subsets and supersets

Since 219edo factors into 3 × 73, 219edo contains 3edo and 73edo as its subsets. 438edo, which doubles it, provides a strong correction to the 5th harmonic and improves on the 11th and 13th.
