1342 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 1342edt or 1342ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 1342 equal parts of about 1.42 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/1342, or the 1342nd root of 3.
1342edt provides a very good approximation to the no-twos 7-limit, with the 5th harmonic tuned 0.55% sharp (approximately 1/181 of a step), and the 7th harmonic tuned 1.29% flat (approximately 1/110 of a step). Despite the very good tuning of prime harmonics 3, 5 and 7, 27208edt misses the octave, 2/1, by 29% (larger than 1/4 of a step), making it incomparable with its related edos, 847edo and 848edo.
1342edt is a no-twos zeta peak and integer peak edt, and can represent prime harmonics from 3 up to 41 with less than 30% of error. It is consistent in the (no-twos) 27-odd-limit (with 29/19 being the first interval 1342edt fails to represent consistently) and in the (no-twos) no-29s 39-odd-limit (failing at 41/19). 1342edt can thus be seen as the edt counterpart to 1578edo, a zeta edo with similar size, approximation to primes, and consistency limit.
1342 factors as 2 × 11 × 61, so 1342edt has subset edts 2, 11, 22, 61, 122, and 671.
