935 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 935edo or 935ed2), also called 935-tone equal temperament (935tet) or 935 equal temperament (935et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 935 equal parts of about 1.28 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/935, or the 935th root of 2.

Theory

935edo is a very strong 23-limit system, and is consistent through to the 27-odd-limit. It does reasonably well in the higher limits, though the sharply tuned 11 and 23 and the flatly tuned 29 and 31 create inconsistencies together, those being 29/22, 29/23, 31/22, 31/23 and their octave complements; it is otherwise consistent to the 39-odd-limit. It is a zeta peak edo.

As an equal temperament, it tempers out the [39 -29 3 (alphatricot comma), [-52 -17 34 (septendecima), and [91 -12 -31 (astro comma) in the 5-limit; 4375/4374 and 52734375/52706752 in the 7-limit; 117649/117612, 151263/151250, 161280/161051 in the 11-limit; 2080/2079, 4096/4095, 4225/4224 in the 13-limit; 2058/2057, 2500/2499, 4914/4913 in the 17-limit; 2432/2431, 3136/3135, 3250/3249, 4200/4199 in the 19-limit; and 2025/2024, 2300/2299, 2646/2645 among others in the 23-limit.

  • 935et has lower absolute errors than any previous equal temperaments in the 13-, 17-, 19- and 23-limit. It is the first to beat 764 in the 13-limit, 814 in the 17- and 23-limit, and 742 in the 19-limit, only to be bettered by 954h in all of those subgroups.
