111 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 111edo or 111ed2), also called 111-tone equal temperament (111tet) or 111 equal temperament (111et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 111 equal parts of about 10.8 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/111, or the 111th root of 2.

Theory

111edo is consistent through to the 21-odd-limit, and is the smallest edo uniquely consistent through the 15-odd-limit, marking it as an important higher limit tuning. It has a sharp tendency, with harmonics 3 through 19 all tuned sharp. 111 = 3 × 37, and 111edo shares the mappings for 5, 7, 11, and 13 with 37edo.

It is also significant for lower limits, especially in terms of what it tempers out in its patent val; for example, it tempers out 176/175 and gives an excellent optimal patent val for the corresponding 11-limit rank-4 temperament.

In fact in the 7-limit it tempers out 1728/1715, 3136/3125 and 5120/5103, and in the 11-limit, 176/175, 540/539, 1331/1323, 1375/1372, and notably the quartisma.

It is a particularly good tuning for the 11- or 13-limit versions of semisept, the 31 & 80 temperament, and buzzard, the 53 & 58 temperament. Gene Ward Smith's trio in #Music section is in guanyin temperament, the planar temperament tempering out 176/175 and 540/539, for which 111 also provides the optimal patent val.
