9edf
| ← 8edf | 9edf | 10edf → |
9 equal divisions of the perfect fifth (abbreviated 9edf or 9ed3/2) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/2 into 9 equal parts of about 78 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (3/2)1/9, or the 9th root of 3/2.
Theory
9edf corresponds to 15.391524edo. It is closely related to Carlos Alpha, and can be used as a temperament of the 3/2.5/4.7/8.11/8 subgroup. Carlos Alpha can be seen as 9edf with an independent dimension for 2.
