1612 equal divisions of the octave (1612edo), or 1612-tone equal temperament (1612tet), 1612 equal temperament (1612et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1612 equal parts of about 0.744 ¢ each.
1612edo is a strong 5-limit system, but it is only consistent to the 5-odd-limit since harmonics 7 and 11 are about halfway between its steps. Nonetheless, the patent val is a strong 2.3.5.13.17.23.29.31 subgroup tuning.
It provides a tuning for quasithird, aluminium and counterorson temperaments in the 5-limit.
