<b>72-tone equal temperament</b>, or <b>72-edo</b>, divides the octave into 72 steps or ''moria''. This produces a twelfth-tone tuning, with the whole tone measuring 200 cents, the same as in 12-tone equal temperament. 72-tone is also a superset of [[24edo|24-tone equal temperament]], a common and standard tuning of [[Arabic,_Turkish,_Persian|Arabic]] music, and has itself been used to tune Turkish music.
'''72-tone equal temperament''', or '''72-edo''', divides the octave into 72 steps or ''moria''. This produces a twelfth-tone tuning, with the whole tone measuring 200 cents, the same as in 12-tone equal temperament. 72-tone is also a superset of [[24edo|24-tone equal temperament]], a common and standard tuning of [[Arabic,_Turkish,_Persian|Arabic]] music, and has itself been used to tune Turkish music.


Composers that used 72-tone include Alois Hába, Ivan Wyschnegradsky, Julián Carillo (who is better associated with [[96edo|96-edo]]), Iannis Xenakis, Ezra Sims, James Tenney and the jazz musician Joe Maneri.

72-tone equal temperament approximates [[11-limit|11-limit just intonation]] exceptionally well, is consistent in the [[17-limit|17-limit]], and is the ninth [[The_Riemann_Zeta_Function_and_Tuning#Zeta EDO lists|Zeta integral tuning]]. The octave, fifth and fourth are the same size as they would be in 12-tone, 72, 42 and 30 steps respectively, but the major third (5/4) measures 23 steps, not 24, and other 5-limit major intervals are one step flat of 12-et while minor ones are one step sharp. The septimal minor seventh (7/4) is 58 steps, while the undecimal semiaugmented fourth (11/8) is 33.

72 is an excellent tuning for [[Gamelismic_clan|miracle temperament]], especially the 11-limit version, and the related rank three temperament [[Marvel_family#Prodigy|prodigy]], and is a good tuning for other temperaments and scales, including wizard, harry, catakleismic, compton, unidec and tritikleismic.
