This means that an '''EDO''' could also be called an '''ED2/1''' or an ED2. So other names for 12edo include 12ed2/1 or 12ed2. | This means that an '''EDO''' could also be called an '''ED2/1''' or an ED2. So other names for 12edo include 12ed2/1 or 12ed2. | ||
You could use some other interval instead of the octave, though. For example you could divide the | You could use some other interval instead of the octave, though. For example you could divide the perfect twelfth (3/1) to make an '''[[ED3/1]]''', also known as ED3 or EDT. Or you could divide the perfect fifth (3/2) to make an '''[[ED3/2]]''', also known as EDF. | ||
You can use any number you want here. You can have ED7, ED5/4, EDπ, EDϕ, etc. All of these represent some interval you can divide into equal pitch slices. | You can use any number you want here.
