'''1 equal divisions of the octave''' (abbreviated '''1edo'''), or '''1-tone equal temperament (1tet), 1 equal temperament (1et)''' when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that contains a single pitch and pitches octaves above and below that pitch. Each step of 1edo represents a frequency ratio of [[2/1]], or exactly the '''octave'''. | |||

One note repeated in octaves is an example of a [[trivial temperament]]; it is even a system that demonstrates trivial examples of [[telicity]]. That said, it is actually useful in some cases from a musical standpoint, particularly as a subset of larger edos. However, in terms of JI representation, it is simply the [[2-limit]] with all other primes tempered to either the unison or octave. | One note repeated in octaves is an example of a [[trivial temperament]]; it is even a system that demonstrates trivial examples of [[telicity]].
