Breed is a 7-limit microtemperament which tempers out 2401/2400. While it is so accurate it hardly matters what is used to temper it, or whether it is even tempered at all, 2578et will certainly do the trick. Breed has generators of a 49/40 neutral third, and 10/7. | Breed is a 7-limit microtemperament which tempers out 2401/2400.

<a class="wiki_link" href="/Equal%20Temperaments">Equal temperaments</a> (abbreviated ET or tET) and equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated EDO) are similar concepts, although there are distinctions in the way these terms are used. An EDO is simply a division of the octave into equal steps (specifically, steps of equal size in cents). An ET, on the other hand, is a temperament, an altered representation of some subset of the intervals of just intonation. The familiar 12-note equal temperament (12-ET) reduces the size of the perfect fifth (about 701.955 cents) by 1/12 of the Pythagorean comma, resulting in a fifth of 700.0 cents.<br /> | <a class="wiki_link" href="/Equal%20Temperaments">Equal temperaments</a> (abbreviated ET or tET) and equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated EDO) are similar concepts, although there are distinctions in the way these terms are used.
