Template:EDO intro It is notable for being the equal division corresponding to a standard MIDI piano roll of 128 notes.

Theory

The equal temperament tempers out 2109375/2097152 (semicomma) in the 5-limit; 245/243, 1029/1024 and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit; 385/384 and 441/440 in the 11-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for 7-limit rodan, the 41 & 87 temperament, as well as for 7-limit fourfives, the 60 & 68 temperament.
