An '''equal division of reduced harmonic 255''' ('''ed255/128''') is an [[equal-step tuning]] in which the octave-reduced 255th harmonic ([[255/128]]) is [[Just intonation|justly tuned]] and is divided in a given number of equal steps. 255/128 is very close to the [[octave]], 2/1, but it is slightly flatter. This makes it suitable as an alternative to edos whose consonances are too sharp, such as [[5edo]]. | An '''equal division of reduced harmonic 255''' ('''ed255/128''') is an [[equal-step tuning]] in which the octave-reduced 255th harmonic ([[255/128]]) is [[Just intonation|justly tuned]] and is divided in a given number of equal steps. 255/128 is very close to the [[octave]], 2/1, but it is slightly flatter.

Ed255/128s really only make sense for that purpose with 65 or fewer tones per [[pseudo-octave]]. With more tones than that, the relative error on 2/1 becomes unacceptably high and it makes more sense to switch to a different tuning like a [[zpi]] or ed511/256. | |||
