1619 equal divisions of the octave (1619edo), or 1619-tone equal temperament (1619tet), 1619 equal temperament (1619et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1619 equal parts of about 0.741 ¢ each.
Theory
1619edo is excellent in the 13-limit, where it tempers out 4225/4224, 4375/4374, 6656/6655, 78125/78078, and 117649/117612. It also notably tempers out quartisma (117440512/117406179) and 123201/123200.
It supports vidar, which has the comma basis 4225/4224, 4375/4374, and 6656/6655, and other unnamed expansions of the ragismic temperament such as the 270 & 441 & 1619, tempering out 4225/4224, 4375/4374, 655473/655360, or the 72 & 270 & 494 & 1619 temperament tempering out 6656/6655 and 2912000/2910897.
1619edo supports the rank-5 temperament tempering out the jacobin comma, 6656/6655 and its fifth-order maximal evenness scale is represented by every 3rd step of the 72 & 270 & 494 & 1619 temperament[clarification needed].
1619edo tunes keenanisma very finely, to 6 steps, and can use it as a microchroma. In addition, it can use the keenanisma as a generator in the keenanose temperament, 270 & 1619, in which it highlights the relationship between 270 keenanismas and the octave. It also achieves this since 270 × 6 = 1620, and 1619 is 1 short of that and also excellent in the 13-limit. 1619edo has 7/6 on 360th step, a highly divisible number, 27/25 on 180th, and 33/32 on 72nd as a consequence of tempering out the commas. This means that 72ed33/32 is virtually equivalent to 1619edo. When it comes to using 33/32 as the generator, 1619edo supports the ravine temperament, which tempers out 196625/196608, 200000/199927, 2912000/2910897, and 3764768/3764475.
Another temperament which highlights the interval relationships in 1619edo is 45 & 1619, and if it had a name, it would be called decigrave, since 10 steps make a 7/6, which is referred to as the grave minor third sometimes. It has a comma basis 4225/4224, 4375/4374, 6656/6655, [23 5 13 -23 1 0⟩ in the 13-limit. Its generator is 36 steps, which represents 65/64 and 66/65 tempered together, and 2 of them make 33/32. 5 of them make 27/25, and 10 of them make 7/6.
Since 33/32 is close to 1\45, 7\6 is close to 1\9, and 385/384 is close to 1\270, 1619edo can be thought of as 1620edo where one step was extracted and all others were moved into a more harmonically just position. It achieves this because 1620edo is contorted 270edo in the 11-limit, and its 13/8 is on the flat side coming from 324edo, and thus when it is octave stretched, steps sharpen enough to arrive at 1619edo's 13-limit excellence.
