"Equal temperaments" (ETs), also known as "rank-1 temperaments", are temperaments which map JI intervals of a given prime-limit or subgroup to iterations of a single generator. "Equal divisions of the octave" (EDOs) are exactly what they sound like, a division of a Just 2/1 ratio into some number of equal parts. An equal temperament is defined by a p-limit val for some odd prime p, but an EDO is defined a 2-limit val: that is, by only the number of steps to an octave, and nothing else. | "Equal temperaments" (ETs), also known as "rank-1 temperaments", are temperaments which map JI intervals of a given prime-limit or subgroup to iterations of a single generator.
