''Tier: '''C'''''[[File:11edo groove.mp3|none|thumb|11edo casino swing in A altered lydian (?)]]

This is a... fun one. It suffers from being almost 12edo, giving it a somewhat similar vibe to 9edo, but without the whole "battle between consonance and dissonance" thing since nearly everything here is dissonant. The fifth is more like [[16/11]] than anything close to 3/2, meaning it actually has the worst fifth since 6edo, although 8edo comes close. This edo is notable for its approximation of [[9/7]], being just 1.28¢ sharp, making it the first edo with a '''supermajor third'''. It also has a pretty good approximation of the '''[[11/8|11th harmonic]]''', being 5.87¢ flat.

While 10edo is the home of mosh, 11edo is the home of '''[[smitonic]]'''. I don't really like it as much as mosh, mostly because its fifth is never a good approximation of 3/2, but it has its uses. Anyway, I don't really dabble with smitonic in this edo. I prefer to write free of any scale, since this edo is already pretty limiting as it is. That's why the demo is full of jazz chords.

As always, The Equal Tempered Keyboard has some good examples of this edo. They're rather beautiful for what they are, but I find myself wishing they were in a different edo. ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28SOTJvT6sw&list=PLLZE7hMjEXRaVKJD8IPyiNFxFIVspBv6q Tostadosto]'' by [[Francium]] and ''[[Longwayaway People]]'' by Sevish are other great examples of what this edo is capable of.

The best way to notate this edo is as a subset of 22edo, which also isn't doing it any favors. Overall, a niche edo with an alien sound that I just cannot find myself wanting to use very often. Its approximation of the 11th harmonic is somewhat appealing, and the "almost 12edo" quality can make for some interesting effects, but there are better edos for both of these things.
