7-edo divides the 1200-cent [[octave]] into 7 equal parts, making its smallest interval [[cent|171.428¢]], or the seventh root of 2. It is the fourth [[prime numbers|prime]] edo, after [[2edo]], [[3edo]] and [[5edo]]. | 7-edo divides the 1200-cent [[octave]] into 7 equal parts, making its smallest interval [[cent|171.428¢]], or the seventh root of 2.

Equal-heptatonic scales are used in non-western music in African cultures as well as an intregal part of early Thai and early Chinese music. It has been speculated in "Indian music:history and structure", that the Indian three-sruti interval of 165 cents is close enough to be mistaken for 171 cents. (or 1.71 semitones). | Equal-heptatonic scales are used in non-western music in African cultures as well as an intregal part of early Thai and early Chinese music.

7-tet can be thought of as result of stacking seven 11/9s on top of each other, and then tempering to remove the comma (2^-2 3^-14 11^7).

Typically, 7-edo exists as the tuning for pentatonic scales in traditional thai music with the other two pitches acting as auxiliary tones. However, it can be used as an interesting diatonic scale choice as well in tunings such as 14 EDO or 21 EDO. | Typically, 7-edo exists as the tuning for pentatonic scales in traditional thai music with the other two pitches acting as auxiliary tones.

The seventh of 7-edo is almost exactly the 29th harmonic ([[29_16|29/16]]), which can have a very agreeable sound with harmonic timbres. However it also finds itself nested between ratios such as 20/11 and 9/5, which gives it considerably higher [[harmonic entropy]] than [[harmonic seventh|7/4]], a much simpler overtone seventh. | The seventh of 7-edo is almost exactly the 29th harmonic ([[29_16|29/16]]), which can have a very agreeable sound with harmonic timbres.
