The '''zetave''', e<sup>𝜏</sup> or ~535.49/1 is the interval which is equally divided when the [[zeta]] function is '''not''' scaled so that Im(s) corresponds to edos. In other words, imaginary values on the [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning|Riemann zeta function]] correspond to equal divisions of the zetave (EDZ). 12edo is about 108.776643404edz, and an EDO can be converted to an EDZ by multiplying the number by <sup>𝜏</sup>/<sub>ln(2)</sub> (and in general, an equal division of an interval ''x'' can be expressed as an EDZ via <sup>𝜏</sup>/<sub>ln(x)</sub>. For an equal tuning expressed as an [[EDN|equal division of the natave]] (e), this reduces to a multiplication by 𝜏; in other words, the zetave is the result of stacking 𝜏 [[Natave|nataves]]. The appearance of the zetave in the zeta function's usage in tuning suggests that it has a natural relation to [[Equal-step tuning|equal-step tunings]].
The '''zetave''' is defined as e<sup>𝜏</sup>, where e is the exponential constant and 𝜏 is the circle constant 2π. In terms of a ratio, it is roughly ~535.49/1. The zetave is the interval which is equally divided when the [[zeta]] function is '''not''' scaled so that Im(s) corresponds to edos. In other words, imaginary values on the [[The Riemann zeta function and tuning|Riemann zeta function]] correspond to equal divisions of the zetave (EDZ) (i.e. when taking zeta(0.5+zi), the value z is an equal tuning expressed as an EDZ). 12edo is about 108.776643404edz, and an EDO can be converted to an EDZ by multiplying the number by <sup>𝜏</sup>/<sub>ln(2)</sub> (and in general, an equal division of an interval ''x'' can be expressed as an EDZ via <sup>𝜏</sup>/<sub>ln(x)</sub>. For an equal tuning expressed as an [[EDN|equal division of the natave]] (e), this reduces to a multiplication by 𝜏; in other words, the zetave is the result of stacking 𝜏 [[Natave|nataves]]. The appearance of the zetave in the zeta function's usage in tuning suggests that it has a natural relation to [[Equal-step tuning|equal-step tunings]].
