=13 tone equal temperament / 13edo= 
13edo refers to a tuning system which divides the octave (frequency ratio 2:1) into 13 equal parts. It is the sixth [[prime numbers|prime]] edo, following [[11edo]] and coming before [[17edo]]. The steps are of similar size to those of 12edo (albeit squashed), while the intervals between a minor third & major sixth are xenharmonic (not similar to anything available in 12edo).

*based on treating 13-EDO as a 2.5.9.11.13.21 subgroup temperament; other approaches are possible.

=Harmony in 13edo= 
Contrary to popular belief, consonant harmony is possible in 13-EDO, but it requires a radically different approach than that used in 12-EDO (or other Pythagorean or Meantone-based tunings). Trying to approximate the usual major and minor triads of 12-EDO within 13-EDO is usually a disappointment if consonance is the goal; 0-3-7, 0-4-7, 0-3-8, and 0-4-8 are all rather rough in 13-EDO. Typically, the most consonant harmonies do not use a "stack of 3rds" the way they do in 12-TET, since the strongest dissonances in 13-EDO are near the middle of the octave (degrees 6, 7, and 8). Instead, a stack of whole-tones, or a mixture of whole-tones and minor 3rds, often yields good results. For example, one way to view 13-EDO is as a subgroup temperament of harmonics 2.5.9.11.13. It actually performs quite admirably in this regard, and a chord of 0-4-15-19-22 (approximating 4:5:9:11:13) sounds very convincing. An even larger subgroup is the [[k*N subgroups|2*13 subgroup]] 2.9.5.21.11.13, on which 13 has the same tuning and commas as 26et.

The 2.9.5.11.13 subgroup has commas 45/44, 65/64 and 81/80, leading to a linear temperament with POTE generator 185.728 cents, quite close to 2\13. Use this as a generator, and at 7 notes (6L1s) two full pentads are available (as well as two more 4:5:9:11 tetrad, and one 4:5:9:13 tetrad).

=Scales in 13edo= 
Due to the prime character of the number 13, 13edo can form several xenharmonic [[MOSScales|moment of symmetry scales]]. The diagram below shows five "families" of MOS scales: those generated by making a chain of 2\13 (two degrees of 13edo), 3\13, 4\13, 5\13, & 6\13, respectively.

Another neat facet of 13-EDO is the fact that any 12-EDO scale can be "turned into" a 13-EDO scale by either adding an extra semitone, or turning an existent semitone into a whole-tone. Because of this, melody in 13-EDO can be quite mind-bending and uncanny, and phrases that begin in a familiar way quickly lead to something totally unexpected.

=Animism= 

The animist comma, 105/104, appears whenever 3*5*7=13... 26 edo approximates 3, 5, and 7 individually, however 13 edo has 21/16 (=3*7) and is also an animist temperament. In 13 edo, the 5th harmonic is tuned so flatly that 5/4 = 16/13, leading to some interesting identities. So two scales stand out through this construction

and
0 1 3 4 5 8 9 10 12 13 nonatonic

~diagram by Andrew Heathwaite, based on horograms pioneered by Erv Wilson<br />
<br />
Another neat facet of 13-EDO is the fact that any 12-EDO scale can be &quot;turned into&quot; a 13-EDO scale by either adding an extra semitone, or turning an existent semitone into a whole-tone. Because of this, melody in 13-EDO can be quite mind-bending and uncanny, and phrases that begin in a familiar way quickly lead to something totally unexpected.<br />
<!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:7:&lt;h2&gt; --><h2 id="toc3"><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:7 --> </h2>
 <!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:9:&lt;h1&gt; --><h1 id="toc4"><a name="Animism"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:9 -->Animism</h1>
 <br />
The animist comma, 105/104, appears whenever 3*5*7=13... 26 edo approximates 3, 5, and 7 individually, however 13 edo has 21/16 (=3*7) and is also an animist temperament. In 13 edo, the 5th harmonic is tuned so flatly that 5/4 = 16/13, leading to some interesting identities. So two scales stand out through this construction<br />

0 4 5 8 9 13 pentatonic<br />
and<br />
0 1 3 4 5 8 9 10 12 13 nonatonic<br />
