222 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 222edo or 222ed2), also called 222-tone equal temperament (222tet) or 222 equal temperament (222et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 222 equal parts of about 5.41 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/222, or the 222nd root of 2.

Theory

222edo is strongly related to 111edo, but they differ on the mappings for 5, 7, and 13. Its 5 is about halfway between its steps; as a result it is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit. Using the patent val nonetheless, the equal temperament tempers out 2401/2400 and 5120/5103 in the 7-limit, supporting hemififths.
