1987 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1987edo or 1987ed2), also called 1987-tone equal temperament (1987tet) or 1987 equal temperament (1987et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1987 equal parts of about 0.604 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1987, or the 1987th root of 2.

Theory

1987edo is only consistent to the 3-limit, having a quite large error in all of its lower harmonics. Its harmonic 15 is an exception with a relative error of 0.8 percent.
