5-edo divides the 1200-[[cent]] octave into 5 equal parts, making its smallest interval exactly 240 [[cent|cents]], or the fifth root of 2. 5edo is the 3rd [[prime numbers|prime]] edo, after [[2edo]] and [[3edo]]. Most importantly, 5-edo is the smallest [[edo]] containing xenharmonic intervals! (1edo 2edo 3edo 4edo are all subsets of 12edo.) | |||
==Listen to the sound of the 5-edo scale== | |||
For any musician, there is no substitute for the experience of a particular xenharmonic sound. The user going by the name Hyacinth on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons has many xenharmonic MIDI's and has graciously copylefted them! This is his 5-edo scale MIDI: | |||
