441edo: Difference between revisions

'''441edo''' is the [[equal division of the octave]] into 441 parts of 2.721 [[cent]]s each. It is a very strong [[7-limit]] system; strong enough to qualify as a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta peak edo]]. It is also very strong simply considered as a 5-limit system; it is the first division past [[118edo|118]] with a lower [[5-limit]] [[Tenney-Euclidean temperament measures #TE simple badness|relative error]]. In the 5-limit It [[tempering out|tempers out]] the [[hemithirds comma]], {{monzo| 38 -2 -15 }}, the [[ennealimma]], {{monzo| 1 -27 18 }}, whoosh, {{monzo| 37 25 -33 }}, and egads, {{monzo| -36 -52 51 }}. In the 7-limit it tempers out [[2401/2400]], [[4375/4374]], [[420175/419904]] and [[250047/250000]], so that it supports [[Ragismic microtemperaments #Ennealimmal|ennealimmal temperament]]. In the [[11-limit]] it tempers out [[4000/3993]], and in the 13-limit, [[1575/1573]], [[2080/2079]] and [[4225/4224]]. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for 11- and [[13-limit]] [[Ragismic microtemperaments #Ennealimmal|semiennealimmal temperament]], and the 7-limit 41&359 temperament. Since it tempers out 1575/1573, the nicola, it allows the [[nicolic tetrad]].

The steps of 441 are only 1/30 of a cent sharp of 1/8 syntonic comma. Lowering the fifth, which is only 1/12 of a cent sharp, by two steps gives a generator, 256\441, close to 1/4 comma meantone. Like [[205edo]] but even more accurately, 441 can be used as a basis for a Vicentino style "adaptive JI" system.

441 factors into primes as 3²×7², and has divisors {{EDOs|3, 7, 9, 21, 49, 63 and 147}}.
