''Tier: '''F'''''[[File:1edo groove.mp3|none|thumb|1edo metal on E]]

Honestly, can this one even be called an edo? I mean, "equal divisions of the octave" implies that the octave is divided. Anyway, this edo is pretty lame because the whole point of using different temperaments is to access different melodic and harmonic opportunities, and this edo doesn't allow any of that. The only way to make this edo musical is through rhythm, dynamics, form, etc... stuff that isn't related to tuning.

This is the first edo with a perfect fifth and a third. The fifth is pretty flat, coming in 16.25¢ flat of 3/2, and the third is a supraminor third of 342.86¢. In a way, 7edo is the polar opposite of 5edo, containing a fifth that is almost equally off in the opposite direction. This gives 7edo a noticeably less uplifting sound, and more of a "crying out in pain" sound as one of my subscribers put it. Quartal and quintal structures have a distinct "underwater" quality, as opposed to the skyward energy of such structures in 5edo.
