Original Wikitext content:

=21 equal divisions of the octave= 

Twenty one equal divisions of the octave provides the sonic fingerprint of the augmented and 7-edo family, while also giving a some higher harmony possibilities and fun intervals like the apotome, and the medium magic diesis. The system can be treated as three intertwining 7-edo or "equi-heptatonic" scales, or as seven 3-edo ''augmented'' triads. Some other cool things about 21-edo: it has an 11-limit minor third/wide sixth, 7-limit neutral third and sixth, a 7/4 harmonic seventh or grave minor seventh 1280/729 approximation (whichever you please). The harmonic occurs at 968.826 cents while the 21-tone 7/4 approximation is 971.4286 cents, or 2.6 cents off.

Twenty-one has a period of 1/3 of the octave as opposed to 1/4 found in diminished families like 12-tet and 16-tet. Some sources claim that cultures in North and South Africa ( Zambezi / Angola / Chopi, etc), as well as ancient traditional Chinese music used 7-edo (or slight alterations within the pitch sets).
