The equal division of 12/1 (ed12/1) is a tuning obtained by dividing the twelfth harmonic (12/1) in a certain number of equal steps.

Properties

Division of 12 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an equivalence. The question of equivalence has not even been posed yet. The utility of this interval as an equivalence is that it serves as two times the upper bound of the range of most peoples' voices, which the author takes to be about √12. The twelfth harmonic is pretty far as much as equivalences go.

Temperament families

Note: a&b is the regular temperament shared by Ed12s a and b (in any subgroup), like in Graham Breed's notation.
