24edo is also known as '''quarter-tone tuning''', since it evenly divides the 12-tone equal tempered semitone in two. Quarter-tones are the most commonly used microtonal tuning due to its retention of the familiar 12 tones and since it is the smallest microtonal equal temperament that contains all the 12 notes, and also because of its use in theory and occasionally in practice in [[Arabic,_Turkish,_Persian|Arabic]] music. It is easy to jump into this tuning and make microtonal music right away using common 12 equal software and even instruments as illustrated in ''[[DIY Quartertone Composition with 12 equal tools]]''. | 24edo is also known as '''quarter-tone tuning''', since it evenly divides the 12-tone equal tempered semitone in two.
