The 69 equal division, which divides the octave into 69 equal parts of 17.391 cents each, has been called "the love-child of [[23edo|23edo]] and [[Quarter-comma_meantone|quarter-comma meantone]]". As a meantone system, it is on the flat side, with a fifth of 695.652 cents. | The 69 equal division, which divides the octave into 69 equal parts of 17.391 cents each, has been called "the love-child of [[23edo|23edo]] and [[Quarter-comma_meantone|quarter-comma meantone]]". As a meantone system, it is on the flat side, with a fifth of 695.652 cents. Such a fifth is closer to 2/7-comma meantone than 1/4-comma, and is nearly identical to that of "Synch-Meantone", or Wilson's equal beating meantone, wherein the perfect fifth and the major third beat at equal rates. Therefore 69edo can be treated as a closed system of Synch-Meantone for most purposes. | ||
In the 7-limit it is a mohajira system, tempering out 6144/6125, but not a septimal meantone system, as [[126/125|126/125]] maps to one step. It also supports the 12&69 temperament tempering out 3125/3087 along with [[81/80|81/80]]. In the 11-limit it tempers out [[99/98|99/98]], and supports the 31&69 variant of mohajira, identical to the standard 11-limit mohajira in 31 but not in 69. | In the 7-limit it is a mohajira system, tempering out 6144/6125, but not a septimal meantone system, as [[126/125|126/125]] maps to one step.
