The 80th harmonic is too wide to be a useful equivalence, so 76ed80 is better thought of as a compressed version of the ubiquitous [[12edo]]. Indeed, tuning the 80/1 ratio just instead of 2/1 results in octaves being [[stretched and compressed tuning|compressed]] by about 2.16{{c}}. The local [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning #Optimal octave stretch|zeta peak]] around 12 is located at 12.023183, which has a step size of 99.807{{c}} and an octave of 1197.686{{c}}, making 76ed80 extremely close to optimal for 12edo.
