62edt
| ← 61edt | 62edt | 63edt → |
62 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 62edt or 62ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 62 equal parts of about 30.7 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/62, or the 62nd root of 3.
Theory
62edt is related to 39edo, but with the 3/1 rather than the 2/1 being just. The octave is about 3.61 cents compressed and the step size is about 30.6767 cents. 62edt is consistent to the 7-integer-limit, but not to the 8-integer-limit. In comparison, 39edo is only consistent up to the 6-integer-limit.
