69 equal divisions of the 7th harmonic (abbreviated 69ed7), is the tuning system that divides the 7th harmonic into 69 equal parts of about 48.82356 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of [math]\displaystyle{ 7^{\frac{1}{69}} }[/math], or the 69th root of 7.

Theory

69ed7 is a nice and strong 3.5.7.11.13 system.

All ratios in the 3.5.7.11.13 subgroup and 21-integer-limit are approximated in 69ed7 with less than 7.7 ¢ error.

69ed7 is close to the different methods for approaching the 3.5.7.11.13 subgroup in the Triple Bohlen-Piece aera:

  • The finite Euler product maxima of the 3.5.7.11.13 subgroup (sigma = 1 gives 48.82085 ¢, sigma = 1/2 gives 48.82100 ¢).
  • The Tenney–Euclidean regular temperement in the 3.5.7.11.13 subgroup mapped with [⟨39 57 69 85 91]] gives 48.82201 ¢.

With a size of 48.82356 ¢, 69ed7 gives a better approximation than 39edt to Triple Bohlen-Pierce just intonation, yet still remaining a simple division.
