6 equal divisions of 7/3 (abbreviated 6ed7/3) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 7/3 into 6 equal parts of about 244 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (7/3)1/6, or the 6th root of 7/3.

6ed7/3+7edo scale

On the Xenharmonic Alliance Discord in September 2025, Maeve Gutierrez noted that the notes of 3ed7/3 make for a nice chord when played simultaneously, and that 6ed7/3 is a good tuning for using said chord.

Gutierrez also noted that playing 6ed7/3 on one instrument/track simultaneously with 7edo on another (a polymicrotonal approach) makes for some useful effects: "6ed7/3+7edo together gives lots of shimmer to play with+2 different flavours of detuned perfect fifth and fourth".

Lériendil then noted that this 6ed7/3+7edo scale is very closely approximated by 49edo. Budjarn Lambeth expanded on this idea, mentioning that after going 3 octaves up or 3 octaves down from the root note, the discrepancy between the two tunings (6ed7/3 and a stack of 7/3 from 49edo) will be no more than 6 cents.

If one wished to use this 6ed7/3+7edo scale tempered to 49edo, then it would look as follows:

Within 49edo:

  • 6ed7/3 is the step pattern 10 10 10...
  • 7edo is the step pattern 7 7 7...

Which means that both scales sync up every 70 steps of 49edo, at the interval 1714.286c.

So (tempered to 49edo), the combined 6ed7/3 & 7edo scale is:

  • 7\49
  • 10\49
  • 14\49
  • 20\49
  • 21\49
  • 28\49
  • 30\49
  • 35\49
  • 40\49
  • 42\49
  • 49\49
  • 50\49
  • 56\49
  • 60\49
  • 63\49
  • 70\49 (period)

Lumatone mappings

Mapping the 6ed7/3+7edo scale onto a 2D isomorphic keyboard like the Lumatone, one can use 7\49 for the x-steps and 10\49 for the y-steps or vice versa.
