The '''72 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''72edo'''), or '''72-tone equal temperament''' ('''72tet''', '''72et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 72 steps or ''[[moria]]''. This produces a twelfth-tone tuning, with the whole tone measuring 200 cents, the same as in [[12edo]]. 72edo is also a superset of [[24edo]], a common and standard tuning of [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|Arabic]] music, and has itself been used to tune Turkish music. | The '''72 equal divisions of the octave''' ('''72edo'''), or '''72-tone equal temperament''' ('''72tet''', '''72et''') when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, divides the [[octave]] into 72 steps or ''[[moria]]''.
