145 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 145edo or 145ed2), also called 145-tone equal temperament (145tet) or 145 equal temperament (145et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 145 equal parts of about 8.28 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/145, or the 145th root of 2.

Theory

145 = 5 × 29, and 145edo shares the same perfect fifth with 29edo. It is generally a sharp-tending system, with prime harmonics 3 to 23 all tuned sharp except for 7, which is slightly flat. It is consistent to the 11-odd-limit, or the no-13 no-15 23-odd-limit, with 13/7, 15/8 and their octave complements being the only intervals going over the line.

As an equal temperament, 145et tempers out 1600000/1594323 in the 5-limit; 4375/4374 and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit; 441/440 and 896/891 in the 11-limit; 196/195, 352/351, 364/363, 676/675, 847/845, and 1001/1000 in the 13-limit; 595/594 in the 17-limit; 343/342 and 476/475 in the 19-limit.

It is the optimal patent val for the 11-limit mystery temperament and the 11-limit rank-3 pele temperament. It also supports and provides a good tuning for 13-limit mystery, and because it tempers out 441/440 it allows werckismic chords, because it tempers out 196/195 it allows mynucumic chords, because it tempers out 352/351 it allows major minthmic chords, because it tempers out 364/363 it allows minor minthmic chords, and because it tempers out 847/845 it allows the cuthbert chords, making it a very flexible harmonic system. The same is true of 232edo, the optimal patent val for 13-limit mystery.

The 145c val provides a tuning for magic which is nearly identical to the POTE tuning.
