In music, '''22 equal temperament''', called '''22-tet''', '''22-edo''', or '''22-et''', is the scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 22 equally large steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of the twenty-second root of 2, or 54.55 [[cent]]s. Because it distinguishes 10/9 and 9/8, it's not meantone.
'''22 equal divisions of the octave''' (22-[[edo]]), or '''22(-tone) equal temperament''' (22-tet, 22-et) when viewed from a [[regular temperament]] perspective, is the tuning system derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 22 [[equal]]ly large steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of the twenty-second root of 2, or 54.55 [[cent]]s. Because it distinguishes 10/9 and 9/8, it's not a meantone system.
