Original Wikitext content:
The //32 equal division// divides the octave into 32 equal parts of precisely 37.5 cents each. While even advocates of less-common edos can struggle to find something about it worth noting, it does provide an excellent tuning for [[Petr Parízek]]'s sixix temperament, which tempers out the 5-limit sixix comma, 3125/2916, using its 9\32 generator of size 337.5 cents. Parízek's preferred generator for sixix is (128/15)^(1/11), which is 337.430 cents, so 32edo does sixix about as well as sixix can be done. It also tempers out 2048/2025 in the 5-limit, and 50/49 with 64/63 in the 7-limit, which means it supports [[Diaschismic family|pajara temperament]], with a very sharp fifth of 712.5 cents which could be experimented with by those with a penchant for fifths even sharper than the fifth of [[27edo]]. =Z function= Below is a plot of the Z function, showing how its peak value is shifted above 32, corresponding to a zeta tuning with flattened octaves. This will ameliorate the fifth somewhat, at the expense of the third. [[image:plot32.png]] =Music= [[http://micro.soonlabel.com/petr_parizek/3125_2916_temp_q32.ogg|Sixix]] by Petr Parízek
