25EDO divides the octave in 25 equal steps of exact size 48 | 25EDO divides the [[octave]] in 25 equal steps of exact size 48 [[cent]]s each. It is a good way to tune the [[Blackwood temperament]], which takes the very sharp fifths of [[5EDO]] as a given, tempers out 28/27 and 49/48, and attempts to optimize the tunings for 5 ([[5_4|5/4]]?) and 7 ([[7_4|7/4]]?). | ||
25EDO has fifths 18 cents sharp, but its major thirds are excellent and its 7/4 is acceptable. It therefore makes sense to use it as a 2.5.7 [[Just intonation subgroups|subgroup]] tuning. Looking just at 2, 5, and 7, it equates five 8/7s with the octave, and so tempers out (8/7)^5 / 2 = 16807/16384. It also equates a 128/125 diesis and two septimal tritones of 7/5 with the octave, and hence tempers out 3136/3125. If we want to temper out both of these and also have decent fifths, the obvious solution is [[50EDO]]. | 25EDO has fifths 18 cents sharp, but its major thirds are excellent and its 7/4 is acceptable.
