128edo is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[7-limit]] [[Rodan]] temperament. It [[tempers out]] 2109375/2097152 in the [[5-limit]]; 245/243, 1029/1024 and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit; 385/384 and 441/440 in the limit.  
The equal temperament [[tempering out|tempers out]] 2109375/2097152 ([[semicomma]]) in the [[5-limit]]; [[245/243]], [[1029/1024]] and [[5120/5103]] in the 7-limit; [[385/384]] and [[441/440]] in the 11-limit. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for [[7-limit]] [[rodan]], the {{nowrap|41 & 87}} temperament, as well as for 7-limit [[fourfives]], the {{nowrap|60 & 68}} temperament.

Being the power of two closest to division of the octave by the Germanic [[Wikipedia: long hundred|long hundred]], 128edo has a unit step which is the binary (fine) relative cent (or relative heptamu in MIDI terms) of [[1edo]].
Since 128 factors into 2<sup>7</sup>, 128edo has subset edos {{EDOs| 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 }}.
