8 equal divisions of the superoctave is a super-pitch tuning system that tetratively divides the superoctave into 8 equally spaced steps.
8edso is notable for containing a close approximation to 3/1 (as well as log2(3)) according to the analytic extension of the tetration developed by Kneser, hereby producing a strong approximation to the super-pitch equivalent of the Pythagorean tuning. Furthermore, it provides good representation of 5/1 as well as log2(5), thus being a strong 2.3.5 super-subgroup tuning and therefore being the best candidate for the super-pitch equivalent of 12edo.
