'''1536EDO''' is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 1536 parts of exact 0.78125 cents each, which is to say 2<sup>1/1536</sup> as a frequency ratio. Its adjacent step is known as ''[[Heptamu]]'' (seventh MIDI-resolution unit, ''[[7mu]]'', 2<sup>7</sup> = 128 equal divisions of the [[12edo]] semitone). The internal data structure of the 7mu 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 −) showing the direction of the pitch-bend up or down, and 6 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. | '''1536EDO''' is the [[EDO|equal division of the octave]] into 1536 parts of exact 0.78125 cents each, which is to say 2<sup>1/1536</sup> as a frequency ratio.
