421 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 421edo or 421ed2), also called 421-tone equal temperament (421tet) or 421 equal temperament (421et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 421 equal parts of about 2.85 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/421, or the 421st root of 2.

Theory

421edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit, with its harmonic 5 being way too sharp. To start with, consider the following breeds:

  • 421 667 977 1182] (421c)
  • 421 667 977 1181] (421cd)
  • 421 667 978 1182] (patent val)

The 421c val tempers out 4375/4374 and 2100875/2097152, supporting mitonic.

The 421cd val tempers out 1029/1024 and 823543/820125.

The 421 val tempers out 2401/2400 and 3136/3125, supporting hemiwürschmidt.

Omitting harmonic 5, it is suitable for the 2.3.7.11.13.29.37 subgroup, where it tempers out 638/637, 5292/5291, 24192/24167, 53361/53248, 88209/87808 and 85293/85184.

Subsets and supersets

421edo is the 82nd prime edo. 1263edo, which triples it, gives a good correction to the harmonic 5.
