128edo is the [[optimal patent val]] for [[7-limit]] [[Rodan]] temperament. It [[tempers out]] 2109375/2097152 in the [[5-limit]]; 245/243, 1029/1024 and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit; 385/384 and 441/440 in the limit.

Theory

128edo is the optimal patent val for 7-limit Rodan temperament. It tempers out 2109375/2097152 in the 5-limit; 245/243, 1029/1024 and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit; 385/384 and 441/440 in the limit.
