'''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.
