342edo is a very strong 11-limit system. It is, as one would expect, distinctly consistent through the 11-odd-limit, but goes no higher; nonetheless, it is a  [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning #Zeta EDO lists|zeta peak edo]]. A basis for the 11-limit commas is 2401/2400, 3025/3024, 4375/4374 and 32805/32768. It is the optimal patent val for 11-limit [[Breedsmic temperaments #Hemitert|hemitert]] temperament, and supports hemiennealimmal.
