Original Wikitext content:
[[toc|flat]] =11 tone equal temperament= 11-tone equal temperament, or 11edo, divides the octave into eleven equal steps of approximately 109.09 cents. =Tuning= Compared to 12edo, the intervals of 11edo are stretched: * The "minor second," at 109.09 cents, functions melodically and harmonically very much like the 100-cent minor second of 12edo. * The "major second," at 218.18 cents, works in a similar fashion to the 200-cent major second of 12edo, but as a major ninth, it may sound less harmonious. Its inversion, at 981.82 cents, can function as a "bluesy" seventh relative to 12edo's 1000-cent interval, although it is still about 13 cents away from 7/4. * The "minor third," at 327.27 cents, is rather sharp and encroaching upon "neutral third." * The "major third," at 436.36 cents, is quite sharp, and closer to the supermajor third of frequency ratio 9/7 than the simpler third of 5/4. * The "perfect fourth," at 545.45 cents, does not sound like a perfect fourth at all, and passes more easily as the 11/8 superfourth than the simpler perfect fourth of 4/3. =Subgroup= 11edo provides the same tuning on the 2.9.15.7.11 subgroup as 22edo, and on this subgroup it tempers out the same commas as 22. Also on this subgroup there is an approximation of the 8:9:11:14:15:16 chord and its subchords. Though the error is rather large, this does provide 11 with a variety of chords approximating JI chords. =Intervals= || Harmonic || 8 || || 9 || || 11 || || 14 || || 16 || || JI interval from 1/1 || 1/1 = 0 cents || || 9/8 = 204 || || 11/8 = 551 || || 7/4 = 969 || || 2/1 = 1200 || || nearest 11edo interval || 0\11edo = 0 cents || || 2\11 = 218 || || 5\11 = 545 || || 9\11 = 982 || || 11\11 = 1200 || || difference || 0 || || +14 || || -6 || || +13 || || 0 || || JI interval between || || 9:8 = 204 cents || || 11:9 = 347 || || 14/11 = 418 || || 8:7 = 231 || || || nearest 11edo interval || || 2\11 = 218 || || 3\11 = 327 || || 4\11 = 436 || || 2\11 = 218 || || || difference || || +14 || || -20 || || +18 || || -13 || || ==11 edo solfege== An 11edo solfege system can easily be applied from the [[22edo solfege]] system.

This is because 11 is a prime number, while 12 is composite. Cycles of 2\11 (two degrees of 11edo), 3\11, 4\11 and 5\11 produce scales which do not repeat at the octave until all 11 intervals have been included. 2\11 generates 2 2 2 2 3 and 2 2 2 2 2 1. 3\11 generates 3 3 3 2 and 1 2 1 2 1 2 2. 4\11 generates 4 4 3, 1 3 1 3 3, and 1 1 2 1 1 2 1 2. 5\11 generates 5 5 1, 1 4 1 4 1, 1 1 3 1 1 3 1, and 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1. See [[11edo Modes]] =11edo Instant Ensemble= In February 2011, [[http://oddmusicuc.wordpress.com/|Oddmusic U-C]], as part of its Microtonal Design Seminar, generated a 7-piece ensemble for playing music in 11edo.
