Although consistent to the 11-odd-limit, it makes more sense to actually see 3072edo as a 2.3.5.7.13 [[subgroup]] tuning, due to lower relative error. There it tempers out 140625/140608 and 1990656/1990625. Overall in the 13-limit, the [[patent val]] still has smaller errors than any other val despite incosistency. In higher limits, it is not as impressive, with only [[53/32]] being 17% off and 2.3.5.67.71 subgroup having less than 4% error.

=== Significance in digital audio software ===
=== As a tuning standard ===
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.
