It is very close to the [[EDF|equal division of the just perfect fifth]] into twenty parts of 35.0978 [[cent|cents]] each (20ED3/2), which has been oft-misquoted as actually being Wendy Carlos's gamma scale. Carlos's original gamma scale has the fifth just slightly sharp (about 0.2 cents) in order to evenly spread out the tuning error amongst a large set of JI intervals.
