Edos that are multiples of the examples above can be reached by entering non-simplified step ratios. For example, edos that are multiples of 12 are reached by using larger values whose ratio simplifies to 2:1, such as 4:2 for [[24edo]] and 12:6 for [[72edo]]. The step sizes may be called whole and half in this case.

A spectrum of step ratios can be produced by starting with the ratios 1:1 and 1:0 and repeatedly finding the [[Mediant|mediants]] between adjacent ratios. The first three iterations are shown below, yielding the step ratios previously mentioned.{{SB tree|Depth=1}}
The step ratios 1:1 and 1:0 represent extreme tunings that technically do not form a valid 5L . A step ratio that approaches 1:1, where the large and small step are equal to one another, approaches [[7edo]], and a step ratio that approaches 1:0, where the small step "collapses" to zero, approaches [[5edo]].
{{SB tree|Depth=2}}
{{SB tree|Depth=3}}
Larger edos, such as [[53edo]] (step ratio 9:4), can be reached by repeatedly expanding the tuning spectrum. A larger tuning spectrum can be found in this page's tuning spectrum section.


The step ratios 1:1 and 1:0 represent the extremes of the tuning spectrum. A step ratio that approaches 1:1, where the large and small step are equal to one another, approaches [[7edo]], and a step ratio that approaches 1:0, where the size of the small step approaches 0 relative to the size of the large step, approaches [[5edo]].
The step ratios shown above form a continuum of step ratios. The section Tuning spectrum shows how this is made, as well as a larger spectrum.
