97ed9
Theory
97ed9 is an equal-step tuning system created by dividing the interval of 9/1 into 97 equal parts.
This system can be approximated as 30.6001 EDO, meaning each step of 97ed9 corresponds closely to five steps of 153edo.
This non-octave, non-tritave scale features a well-balanced harmonic series segment from 4 to 9 and another from 39 to 50. It performs well across all prime harmonics from 5 to 19, with the exception of 13, which is slightly flat.
97ed9 sets a height record on the Riemann zeta function with primes 2 and 3 removed, approximating 30.59745 EDO. This record remains unbeaten until approximately 41.3478 EDO.
Additionally, 97ed9 is close to 125zpi (see Zeta peak index).
