Special properties

1680 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1680edo or 1680ed2), also called 1680-tone equal temperament (1680tet) or 1680 equal temperament (1680et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1680 equal parts of about 0.714 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1680, or the 1680th root of 2. 1680edo is the 17th highly composite edo.

1680edo is consistent in the 5-odd-limit.

1680d val is better tuned than the patent val and other vals as high as the 23-limit, and offers a good representation of the 17-limit in this regard. It tunes the 80th-octave temperament mercury in the 19-limit and the rank-3 temperament thor in the 11-limit.
