175 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 175edo or 175ed2), also called 175-tone equal temperament (175tet) or 175 equal temperament (175et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 175 equal parts of about 6.86 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/175, or the 175th root of 2.

Theory

175et tempers out 225/224 and 1029/1024, so that it supports 7-limit miracle, and in fact provides an excellent alternative to 72edo for 7-limit miracle with improved 5 and 7 at the cost of a slightly flatter 3. In the 11-limit, it tempers out 243/242, 385/384, 441/440 and 540/539, and supports 11-limit miracle. In the 13-limit, the 175f val, 175 277 406 491 605 647] tempers out 351/350 just as 72 does, and provides a tuning for benediction temperament very close to the POTE tuning.
