The 46 equal temperament, often abbreviated 46-tET, 46-EDO, or 46-ET, is the scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 46 equally-sized steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 26.087 [[cent]]s, an interval close in size to [[66_65|66/65]], the interval from [[13_11|13/11]] to [[6_5|6/5]].
The 46 equal temperament, often abbreviated 46-tET, 46-EDO, or 46-ET, is the scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 46 equally-sized steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 26.087 [[cent]]s, an interval close in size to [[66_65|66/65]], the interval from [[13_11|13/11]] to [[6_5|6/5]].


46et tempers out 507/500, 91/90, 686/675, 2048/2025, 121/120, 245/243, 126/125, 169/168, 176/175, 896/891, 196/195, 1029/1024, 5120/5103, 385/384, and 441/440 among other intervals, with varied consequences it would take a very long article to describe. [[Rank two temperaments]] it supports include sensi, valentine, shrutar, rodan, leapday and unidec. The [[11-limit]] [[Target tunings|minimax]] tuning for [[Starling family|valentine temperament]], (11/7)^(1/10), is only 0.01 cents flat of 3/46 octaves. In the opinion of some 46et is the first equal division to deal adequately with the [[13-limit]], though others award that distinction to [[41edo]]. In fact, while 41 is a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta EDO lists|zeta integral edo]] but not a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta EDO lists|zeta gap edo]], 46 is zeta gap but not zeta integral.

The fifth of 46 equal is 2.39 cents sharp, which some people (eg, Margo Schulter) prefer, sometimes strongly, over both the [[just fifth]] and fifths of temperaments with flat fifths, such as meantone. It gives a characteristic bright sound to triads, distinct from the mellowness of a meantone triad.

=<span style="color: #300094; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 113%;">46 tone equal temperament</span>= 
The 46 equal temperament, often abbreviated 46-tET, 46-EDO, or 46-ET, is the scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 46 equally-sized steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 26.087 [[cent]]s, an interval close in size to [[66_65|66/65]], the interval from [[13_11|13/11]] to [[6_5|6/5]].

46et tempers out 507/500, 91/90, 686/675, 2048/2025, 121/120, 245/243, 126/125, 169/168, 176/175, 896/891, 196/195, 1029/1024, 5120/5103, 385/384, and 441/440 among other intervals, with varied consequences it would take a very long article to describe. [[Rank two temperaments]] it supports include sensi, valentine, shrutar, rodan, leapday and unidec. The [[11-limit]] [[Target tunings|minimax]] tuning for [[Starling family|valentine temperament]], (11/7)^(1/10), is only 0.01 cents flat of 3/46 octaves. In the opinion of some 46et is the first equal division to deal adequately with the [[13-limit]], though others award that distinction to [[41edo]]. In fact, while 41 is a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists|zeta integral edo]] but not a [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists|zeta gap edo]], 46 is zeta gap but not zeta integral.

The fifth of 46 equal is 2.39 cents sharp, which some people (eg, Margo Schulter) prefer, sometimes strongly, over both the [[just fifth]] and fifths of temperaments with flat fifths, such as meantone. It gives a characteristic bright sound to triads, distinct from the mellowness of a meantone triad.

46edo can be treated as two [[23edo]]'s separated by an interval of 26.087 cents.

=46edo srutis= 
[[Magic22 as srutis#shrutar22assrutis|Shrutar22 as srutis]] describes a possible use of 46edo for [[Indian]] music.

=Approximation to Mode 8 of the Harmonic Series= 

46edo represents [[overtone]]s 8 through 16 (written as [[JI]] ratios 8:9:10:11:12:13:14:15:16) with degrees 0, 8, 15, 21, 27, 32, 37, 42, 46. In steps-in-between, that's 8, 7, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 4.

8\46edo (208.70¢) stands in for frequency ratio [[9_8|9:8]] (203.91¢).
7\46edo (182.61¢) stands in for [[10_9|10:9]] (182.40¢).
6\46edo (156.52¢) stands in for [[11_10|11:10]] (165.00¢) and [[12_11|12:11]] (150.64¢).
5\46edo (130.43¢) stands in for [[13_12|13:12]] (138.57¢), [[14_13|14:13]] (128.30¢) and [[15_14|15:14]] (119.44¢).
4\46edo (104.35¢) stands in for [[16_15|16:15]] (111.73¢).

 The 46 equal temperament, often abbreviated 46-tET, 46-EDO, or 46-ET, is the scale derived by dividing the <a class="wiki_link" href="/octave">octave</a> into 46 equally-sized steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 26.087 <a class="wiki_link" href="/cent">cent</a>s, an interval close in size to <a class="wiki_link" href="/66_65">66/65</a>, the interval from <a class="wiki_link" href="/13_11">13/11</a> to <a class="wiki_link" href="/6_5">6/5</a>.<br />
<br />
46et tempers out 507/500, 91/90, 686/675, 2048/2025, 121/120, 245/243, 126/125, 169/168, 176/175, 896/891, 196/195, 1029/1024, 5120/5103, 385/384, and 441/440 among other intervals, with varied consequences it would take a very long article to describe. <a class="wiki_link" href="/Rank%20two%20temperaments">Rank two temperaments</a> it supports include sensi, valentine, shrutar, rodan, leapday and unidec. The <a class="wiki_link" href="/11-limit">11-limit</a> <a class="wiki_link" href="/Target%20tunings">minimax</a> tuning for <a class="wiki_link" href="/Starling%20family">valentine temperament</a>, (11/7)^(1/10), is only 0.01 cents flat of 3/46 octaves. In the opinion of some 46et is the first equal division to deal adequately with the <a class="wiki_link" href="/13-limit">13-limit</a>, though others award that distinction to <a class="wiki_link" href="/41edo">41edo</a>. In fact, while 41 is a <a class="wiki_link" href="/The%20Riemann%20Zeta%20Function%20and%20Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists">zeta integral edo</a> but not a <a class="wiki_link" href="/The%20Riemann%20Zeta%20Function%20and%20Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists">zeta gap edo</a>, 46 is zeta gap but not zeta integral.<br />
<br />
The fifth of 46 equal is 2.39 cents sharp, which some people (eg, Margo Schulter) prefer, sometimes strongly, over both the <a class="wiki_link" href="/just%20fifth">just fifth</a> and fifths of temperaments with flat fifths, such as meantone. It gives a characteristic bright sound to triads, distinct from the mellowness of a meantone triad.<br />
<br />
46edo can be treated as two <a class="wiki_link" href="/23edo">23edo</a>'s separated by an interval of 26.087 cents.<br />
