'''3072EDO''' is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 3072 parts of exact 0.390625 cents each, which is to say 2<sup>(1/3072)</sup> as a frequency ratio. Its adjacent step is known as '''Octamu''' (eighth MIDI-resolution unit, 8mu, 2<sup>8</sup> = 256 equal divisions of the [[12edo]] semitone). The internal data structure of the 8mu requires two bytes, with the first bits of each byte reserved as a flags to indicate the byte's status as data, and one bit in the first byte to indicate the sign (+ or &minus;) showing the direction of the pitch-bend up or down, and 5 other bits which are not used. The first data byte transmitted is the Least Significant Byte (LSB), equivalent to a fine-tuning. The second data byte transmitted is the Most Significant Byte (MSB), equivalent to a coarse-tuning.

=== Significance in digital audio software ===
3072edo's step is known as '''Octamu''' (eighth MIDI-resolution unit, 8mu, 2<sup>8</sup> = 256 equal divisions of the [[12edo]] semitone). The internal data structure of the 8mu requires two bytes, with the first bits of each byte reserved as a flags to indicate the byte's status as data, and one bit in the first byte to indicate the sign (+ or &minus;) showing the direction of the pitch-bend up or down, and 5 other bits which are not used. The first data byte transmitted is the Least Significant Byte (LSB), equivalent to a fine-tuning. The second data byte transmitted is the Most Significant Byte (MSB), equivalent to a coarse-tuning.
