The 78 equal division divides the octave into 78 equal parts of size 15.385 [[cent|cent]]s each. It tempers out 2048/2025 in the [[5-limit|5-limit]]; 875/864 and 2401/2400 in the [[7-limit|7-limit]]; and 100/99, 385/384 and 1375/1372 in the [[11-limit|11-limit]]. It provides the [[Optimal_patent_val|optimal patent val]] for 11-limit [[Diaschismic_family|keen temperament]].

Much like [[100edo|100bddd]], the 78ddd val can be used to construct an alternative to 22edo for pajara. The large and small step sizes in this case have ratio 4:3. The width of the tempered perfect fifth is 707.7 cents. The major third is 384.6 cents; less than two cents flat of just. The harmonic seventh is 984.6 cents, or about 15.8 cents sharp; hence this tuning prioritizes the 3- and 5-limits over the 7-limit, while still ensuring that no basic 7-limit intervals other than the tritones are more than 16 cents off. The 22-note 2MOS generated in this way could be used to build straight-fretted guitars that would be [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented-fourths_tuning|tuned in tritones]]. The appeal of this scale is that it is less xenharmonic than [[22edo]] is, for listeners accustomed to 12edo. In particular, the 163.6¢ "flat minor whole tone" of 22edo is now 169.2¢, making it more clearly a //whole// tone (albeit noticeably flat), rather than a neutral second.</pre></div>
