An '''EPD''', or '''equal pitch division''', is a kind of [[Arithmetic tunings|arithmetic]] and [[Monotonic tunings|monotonic]] tuning. | An '''EPD''', or '''equal pitch division''', is a kind of [[Arithmetic tunings|arithmetic]] and [[Monotonic tunings|monotonic]] tuning. | ||
n-EDp: n equal (pitch) divisions of interval p | Its full specification is n-EDp: n equal (pitch) divisions of interval p. It is equivalent to a rank-1 temperament of p/n, or an [[Equal-step_tuning#Equal_multiplications|equal multiplication]] of p/n. | ||
The most common example of this type of tuning is 12-EDO, standard tuning, which takes the interval of the octave, and equally divides its pitch into 12 parts. For long, we could call this 12-EPDO, for 12 equal '''pitch''' divisions of the octave (whenever pitch is the chosen kind of quality, we can assume it, and skip pointing it out; that's why 12-EDO is the better name). | The most common example of this type of tuning is 12-EDO, standard tuning, which takes the interval of the octave, and equally divides its pitch into 12 parts.
