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

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 and 364/363 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 minthmic chords, because it tempers out 364/363 it allows gentle 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.
