Original Wikitext content:

205EDO divides the octave into 205 parts of 5.854 cents each. It can serve as a tuning for various temperaments, such as [[Ragismic microtemperaments|amity]] or [[Hemifamity family|laka]], and supplies the optimal patent val for [[Hemifamity temperaments#Quanic|quanic]] in the 7-, 11-, 13-, 17- and 19-limits, as well as other temperaments tempering out the huntma, 640/637, the rank five temperament for which it also supplies the optimal patent val. In the 5-limit it tempers out 1600000/1594323, the amity comma, and |38 -2 -15>, the hemithirds comma, and is an excellent tuning for 5-limit amity. The patent val tempers out 4375/4374, 5120/5103, 6144/6125 and 540/539. Using its alternative mapping <205 325 476 525| it can also be used for [[Gamelismic clan|hemithirds temperament]]. It factors into primes as 5 * 41, a fact some advocates of the division make use of.

205et tempers out 540/539, so that it allows [[swetismic chords]], 640/637, so that it allows [[huntmic chords]], 352/351, so that it allows [[minthmic chords]], 1188/1183 and 540/539, so that it allows [[kestrel chords]], and 847/845, so that it allows the [[cuthbert triad]]. This makes it a tuning of exceptional fludity for its degree of accuracy.

205edo is the default tuning for the [[http://www.h-pi.com/TPX28features.html|Tonal Plexus midi controller]]. See the [[http://www.h-pi.com/theory/huntsystem1.html|theory part]] on the same website. Aside from the 24\205 generator of quanic, the 58\205 generator of amity, and the 33\205 generator of hemithirds, 205edo supplies an excellent [[meantone]] fifth in 119\205, an excellent [[myna]] generator in 53\205, and a very good [[porcupine]] generator with 28\205, which is also an excellent generator for the higher-limit extension porky, and when sliced in half to 14\205, can even be used for nautilus. These facts are all potentially of significance to anyone using a 205edo based system such as the Tonal Plexus.
