220 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 220edo or 220ed2), also called 220-tone equal temperament (220tet) or 220 equal temperament (220et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 220 equal parts of about 5.455 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/220, or the 220th root of 2.

Theory

Using the patent val, it tempers out [20 -17 3⟩ (rodan comma) and [23 6 -14⟩ (vishnuzma) in the 5-limit; 6144/6125, 10976/10935, and 390625/388962 in the 7-limit; 1331/1323, 1375/1372, 2200/2187, and 16384/16335 in the 11-limit; 325/324, 352/351, 1001/1000, 1573/1568, and 2704/2695 in the 13-limit.
