1600edo
| ← 1599edo | 1600edo | 1601edo → |
The 1600 equal divisions of the octave (1600edo), or the 1600-tone equal temperament (1600tet), 1600 equal temperament (1600et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, divides the octave into 1600 equal parts of exactly 750 millicents each.
Theory
1600edo is a very strong 37-limit system, being distinctly consistent in the 37-limit with a smaller relative error than anything else with this property until 4501. It is also the first division past 311 with a lower 43-limit relative error. One step of it is the relative cent for 16. It's high divisibility, high consistency limit, and compatibility with the decimal system make it a candidate for interval size measure.
In the 5-limit, it supports kwazy. In the 7-limit, it tempers out the ragisma, 4375/4374. In the 11-limit, it supports the rank-3 temperament thor.
