3217 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 3217edo or 3217ed2), also called 3217-tone equal temperament (3217tet) or 3217 equal temperament (3217et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 3217 equal parts of about 0.373 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/3217, or the 3217th root of 2.

Theory

3217edo is only consistent to the 5-limit. The errors of the lower harmonics are high, except for its 11th harmonic with a relative error of only 0.8 percent.
