60afdo

60afdo (arithmetic frequency division of the octave), or 60odo (otonal division of the octave), divides the octave into sixty parts of 1/60 each. It is a superset of 59afdo and a subset of 61afdo. Added to 59afdo are many 119/ ratios. As a scale it may be known as mode 60 of the harmonic series or the Over-60 scale.

← 59afdo 60afdo 61afdo →
Prime factorization 22 × 3 × 5
Fifth 90/60 (701.955c)

60 = 22 × 3 × 5, and 60afdo is a highly composite afdo, with many ways to form frequency-domain equal subset scales.
