198edo

Revision as of 13:29, 17 July 2021 by FloraC (talk | contribs) (Improve intro. Remove mentioning being the opv of semicanou since I'm planning on a redefinition of the 13-limit version. Add it in the categories instead cuz there's no harm, and remove those which are supported by 99et)

The 198 equal divisions of the octave (198edo), or the 198(-tone) equal temperament (198tet, 198et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, divides the octave into 198 parts of 6.061 cents each.

Theory

198edo is contorted in the 7-limit, with the same tuning as 99edo, but makes for a good 11- and 13-limit system. Like 99, it tempers out 2401/2400, 4375/4374, 3136/3125, 5120/5103 and 6144/6125 in the 7-limit; in the 11-limit it tempers 3025/3024, 9801/9800 and 14641/14580; and in the 13-limit 352/351, 676/675, 847/845, 1001/1000, 1716/1715 and 2080/2079.

It is the optimal patent val for the rank-5 temperament tempering out 352/351, plus other temperaments of lower rank also tempering it out, such as hemimist, and namaka. It is distinctly consistent through the 15-odd-limit. It factors into 2 × 32 × 11, and has divisors 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 18, 22, 33, 66 and 99.
