204 equal divisions of the 96th harmonic (abbreviated 204ed96) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 96/1 into 204 equal parts of about 38.7 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 961/204, or the 204th root of 96.

Theory

The 96th harmonic would be extremely wide for an equivalence, so 204ed96 is better thought of as a stretched version of 31edo. Indeed, tuning the 96/1 ratio just instead of 2/1 results in octaves being stretched by about 0.79 ¢. The local zeta peak around 12 is located at 30.978382, which has a step size of 38.737 ¢ and an octave of 1200.837 ¢ (which is compressed by 2.31 ¢), making 204ed96 extremely close to optimal for 31edo.
