This page presents a topic of primarily mathematical interest.

While it is derived from sound mathematical principles, its applications in terms of utility for actual music may be limited, highly contrived, or as yet unknown.

198 equal divisions of the 304th harmonic (abbreviated 198ed304) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 304/1 into 198 equal parts of about 50 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 3041/198, or the 198th root of 304.

Theory

The 304th harmonic is far too wide to be a useful equivalence, so 198ed304 is better thought of as a compressed version of 24edo. Indeed, tuning the 304/1 ratio just instead of 2/1 results in octaves being stretched by about 0.301 ¢. The local zeta peak around 24 is located at 24.005742, which has a step size of 49.98804 ¢ and an octave of 1199.713 ¢ (which is compressed by 0.287 ¢), making 198ed304 extremely close to optimal for 24edo.
