[[12edo]] - 2,1-diatonic. Standard tuning in Western music; has the best support with instruments and software. P5 is great; m3 and M3 are relatively extreme. Highly composite number of steps, so there are a lot of symmetrical chords and scales, and there are only two intervals (plus inversions) that circle around all the notes.

[[13edo]] - extremely unlike 12edo, and I haven't played with this at all because it's awkward to notate with 5ths notation (and I prefer to work in Western notation and am afraid of reading piano rolls), but even this can sound good! See [[:File:13edo 1MC.mp3|this]] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFpKVHbG2FE this example] for what it can do.


[[15edo]] - 5edo with thrice the notes to approximate 5-intervals as well. Somewhat awkward to notate with 5ths notation. Lacks a good 9/8, making it sound somewhat unusual melodically. Not really a fan of the n2s, which are the building block of porcupine, but MODMOS scales based on it look interesting.
