<a class="wiki_link" href="/Equal%20Temperaments">Equal temperaments</a> (abbreviated ET or tET) and equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated EDO) are similar concepts, although there are distinctions in the way these terms are used. An EDO is simply a division of the octave into equal steps (specifically, steps of equal size in cents). An ET, on the other hand, is a temperament, an altered representation of some subset of the intervals of just intonation. The familiar 12-note equal temperament (12-ET) reduces the size of the perfect fifth (about 701.955 cents) by 1/12 of the Pythagorean comma, resulting in a fifth of 700.0 cents.<br /> | <a class="wiki_link" href="/Equal%20Temperaments">Equal temperaments</a> (abbreviated ET or tET) and equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated EDO) are similar concepts, although there are distinctions in the way these terms are used.
