147 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 147edo or 147ed2), also called 147-tone equal temperament (147tet) or 147 equal temperament (147et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 147 equal parts of about 8.16 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/147, or the 147th root of 2.

Theory

147edo has a very accurate fifth. Using the patent val, the equal temperament tempers out 32805/32768 in the 5-limit; 225/224 and 3125/3087 in the 7-limit; 243/242 in the 11-limit; 364/363 in the 13-limit; 442/441 and 595/594 in the 17-limit. It is the optimal patent val for 11-limit karadeniz, the 41 & 106 temperament.

Subsets and supersets

Since 147 = 3 × 72, 147edo has subset edos 3, 7, 21 and 49.

441edo, which triples it, provides strong corrections on the 5th and 7th harmonics and is a very notable 7-limit system.
