14edo is also the largest edo whose patent val [[support]]s [[~~titanium~~]] temperament, tempering out the chromatic semitone (21:20), and falling toward the "brittle" (fifths wider than in 9edo) end of that spectrum. ~~Titanium~~ is one of the simplest 7-limit temperaments, although rather inaccurate (the 7:5 is mapped onto 6\14, over 70 cents flat). Its otonal/major and utonal/minor tetrads are inversions of one another, which allows a greater variety of chord progressions (since different inversions of the same chord may have very different expressive qualities). Despite being so heavily tempered, the tetrads are still recognizable and aren't unpleasant-sounding as long as one uses the right timbres ("bell-like" or opaque-sounding ones probably work best). ~~Titanium~~ forms enneatonic modes which are melodically strong and are very similar to diatonic modes, only with two mediants and submediants instead of one. ~~Titanium~~[9] has similarities to mavila, slendro, and pelog scales as well.

Using ~~titanium~~[9], we could name the intervals of 14edo as follows. The 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 11-step intervals are all consonant, while 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, 12, and 13 steps are dissonant. There is no distinction between "perfect" (modulatory) and "imperfect" (major/minor) consonances here; there are enough chords here that root motion may occur by ''any'' consonant interval, and thus ''all'' six consonances are "perfect" intervals, rather than just two of them as in the diatonic system. As in the diatonic scale, the perfect intervals come in pairs separated by a major second, and with a characteristic dissonance between them; in ~~titanium~~[9] there are three such pairs rather than just one.
