149 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 149edo or 149ed2), also called 149-tone equal temperament (149tet) or 149 equal temperament (149et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 149 equal parts of about 8.05 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/149, or the 149th root of 2.

Theory

149edo is the smallest division which is uniquely consistent through the 17-odd-limit. It has a general flat tendency, with the fifth 1.28 ¢ flat, but the major third is a quarter of a cent sharp.

In the 5-limit it tempers out the sensipent comma, 78732/78125; in the 7-limit, 1029/1024, 3136/3125 and 19683/19600; in the 11-limit 385/384 and 441/440; in the 13-limit 351/350, 676/675 and 729/728; in the 17-limit 273/272 and 561/560; in the 19-limit 286/285 and 343/342. It provides the optimal patent val for 7-, 11-, 13-, and 17-limit heinz temperament and the rank-3 temperament ominous in the 13- and 17-limit.

It is also usable in the 23-limit, only missing 19/11, 21/11, and their octave complements in the 23-odd-limit. In the 27-odd-limit, additional inconsistencies include 25/21, 25/22, 27/20, 27/25, 27/19, and their octave complements.

Subsets and supersets

149edo is the 35th prime edo. As such, it does not contain any nontrivial subset edos.

894edo, which slices its step in six, is a notable system for the higher-limit, also consistent to the 17-odd-limit.
