The '''zetave''' is defined as e<~~sup~~>2π</~~sup~~>~~, where ''e'' is the exponential constant~~. ~~In terms of a ratio, it~~ is roughly ~535.49/1.

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 ~~{{nowrap|ζ~~({{~~frac|1|~~2}} + ''it'')}}, the value ''t'' is an equal tuning expressed as an EDZ). [[12edo]] is about 108.7766edz, and in general an EDO can be converted to an EDZ by multiplying the number by {{sfrac|2π|ln(2)}} (and in general, an equal division of an interval ''x'' can be expressed as an EDZ via {{sfrac|2π|ln(''x'')}}. For an equal tuning expressed as an [[EDN|equal division of the natave]] (''e''), this reduces to a multiplication by 2π; in other words, the zetave is the result of stacking 2π [[natave]]s. The appearance of the zetave in the zeta function's usage in tuning suggests that it has a natural relation to [[equal-step tuning]]s.
