I could say many things about 12edo, but I don't think you need to hear it. It's the first edo with the '''diatonic mos''', the first edo with a decent approximation of 3/2 (1.96¢ flat), and the first edo that can claim to be a '''5-limit system'''. It's a '''[[meantone temperament]]''', but only a little. This means the thirds are closer to pure 5-limit ratios, but not enough to sacrifice the edo's ability to support '''Pythagorean''' melodies. It contains symmetrical augmented and diminished structures, as well as the whole-tone scale. It's essentially a perfect temperament that works well in basically any style, so I cannot honestly put it anywhere but the top of the tier list. | |||
Yeah, that's all I'm going to say about 12edo. The purpose of this page is to enlighten you about the other 71 edos from 1-72, above stating my own opinions. | |||
