198edo
| ← 197edo | 198edo | 199edo → |
The 198 equal divisions of the octave (198edo), or the 198(-tone) equal temperament (198tet, 198et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, divides the octave into 198 parts of about 6.06 cents each.
Theory
198edo is enfactored in the 7-limit, with the same tuning as 99edo, but makes for a good 11- and 13-limit system. Like 99, it tempers out 2401/2400, 3136/3125, 4375/4374, 5120/5103, 6144/6125 and 10976/10935 in the 7-limit; in the 11-limit it tempers 3025/3024, 3388/3375, 9801/9800, 14641/14580, and 16384/16335; and in the 13-limit 352/351, 676/675, 847/845, 1001/1000, 1716/1715, 2080/2079 and 6656/6655.
It provides the optimal patent val for the rank-5 temperament tempering out 352/351, plus other temperaments of lower rank also tempering it out, such as hemimist and namaka. It is distinctly consistent through the 15-odd-limit, and is the last edo to map 64/63 and 81/80 to the same step consistently.
The 198b val supports a septimal meantone close to the CTE tuning, although 229edo is even closer, and besides, the 198be val supports an undecimal meantone almost identical to the POTE tuning.
198 factors into 2 × 32 × 11, and has divisors 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66 and 99.
