150 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 150edo or 150ed2), also called 150-tone equal temperament (150tet) or 150 equal temperament (150et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 150 equal parts of exactly 8.000 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/150, or the 150th root of 2.
Theory
Every 11th step of 150edo is equal to the 88cET nonoctave tuning, which is also represented as octacot through a regular temperament theory perspective. It tempers out 245/243, 4000/3969 and 2401/2400 in the 7-limit, 896/891, 385/384 and 1375/1372 in the 11-limit, and 352/351, 364/363, 676/675 and 1575/1573 in the 13-limit. It is contorted in the 5-limit, tempering out the same commas as 75edo, including 20000/19683 and 2109375/2097152. It provides a good tuning for octacot, for which 88 cents provides a generator.
