1 equal division of 15/14 (1ed15/14), also known as ambitonal sequence of 15/14 (AS15/14) or 15/14 equal-step tuning, is an equal multiplication of 15/14-wide semitone. The step size is about 119.4428 cents, corresponding to 10.0466edo.

Using a JI 15/14-wide semitone as the basis of an equal temperament tuning results in an interesting non-octave tuning. As every interval is a multiple of 15/14, the resultant tuning would be a subset of 7-limit just intonation. This can be also viewed as generating a subset of marvel, decoid, or septidiasemi temperament.
