=11 tone equal temperament= 11-tone equal temperament, or 11edo, divides the octave into eleven equal steps of approximately 109.09 cents. ===Theory=== 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. 11edo can produce an approximation of an 11-limit JI chord, lacking a third and fifth harmonic: 8:9:11:14:16. The error is rather large, and this chord is sure to beat with harmonic timbres. || 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 || || ===MOS Scales=== Although 11edo has one fewer interval in the octave than 12edo, in terms of [[MOSScales|moment-of-symmetry scales]], it offers a great deal more variety.

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.
