1171 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1171edo or 1171ed2), also called 1171-tone equal temperament (1171tet) or 1171 equal temperament (1171et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1171 equal parts of about 1.02 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1171, or the 1171st root of 2.

Theory

1171edo is a very strong 5-limit division, being the first one past 612 with a lower 5-limit relative error. It has a 5-limit comma basis consisting of the monzisma, [54 -37 2 and whoosh, [37 25 -33. While not a strong higher-limit system, it is distinctly consistent through the 27-odd-limit, and is very strong on the 2.3.5.11 subgroup.
