12655 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 12655edo or 12655ed2), also called 12655-tone equal temperament (12655tet) or 12655 equal temperament (12655et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 12655 equal parts of about 0.0948 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/12655, or the 12655th root of 2.
