An '''equal division of the octave''' ('''EDO''' or '''edo''') is a [[Tuning system|tuning]] obtained by dividing the [[octave]] in a certain number of [[Equal-step tuning|equal steps]]. This means that the [[interval]] between any two consecutive pitches is identical.

An '''equal division of the octave''' ('''EDO''', ''EE-dee-oh''; '''edo''', ''EE-doh'') is a [[Tuning system|tuning]] obtained by dividing the [[octave]] in a certain number of [[Equal-step tuning|equal steps]]. This means that the [[interval]] between any two consecutive pitches is identical.

A tuning with ''n'' equal divisions of the octave is usually called "''n''-edo" ("''n''-EDO"). For instance, the predominant tuning system in the world today is [[12edo]] (12-EDO).

Tuning theorists first used the term "equal temperament" for edos designed to approximate [[Low-complexity JI|low-complexity just intervals]]. The same term is still used today for all rank-1 [[Regular temperament|temperaments]]. For example, [[15edo]] can be referred to as 15-tone equal temperament (15-TET, 15-tET, 15tet, etc.), or more simply 15 equal temperament (15-ET, 15et, etc.).

With the development of [[Edonoi|equal divisions of non-octave intervals (edonoi)]], some people started writing "ed2" ("ED2"), especially when naming a specific tuning.
