298 equal divisions of the octave (298edo), or 298-tone equal temperament (298tet), 298 equal temperament (298et) when viewed from a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 298 equal parts of about 4.03 ¢ each.

Theory

298edo has excellent representation of the 2.5.11.17.23.43.53.59 subgroup, with all the harmonics having errors of less than 10 r¢. It is a double of 149edo, the smallest uniquely consistent EDO in the 17-limit. In the 2.5.11.17.23.43.53.59 subgroup, 298edo tempers out 3176/3175, 3128/3125, 3128/3127, 32906/32065 and 76585/76582.

Patent val

298edo's patent val is the lowest error val in the 17-limit among 298edo vals, but they differ on the mapping of the 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonics. Thus it can be viewed as a "spicy 149edo" as a result.

The patent val in 298edo supports the bison temperament and the rank-3 temperament hemimage. In the 2.5.11.13 subgroup, 298edo supports emka. In the full 13-limit, 298edo supports an unnamed 77 & 298 temperament with 13/8 as its generator.

298edo tempers out the rastma and the ratwolfsma, meaning it splits its perfect fifth which it inherits from 149edo, into two steps representing 11/9, and also supports the ratwolf triad.

Other vals

Different temperaments can be extracted from 298edo by simply viewing its prime harmonics as variations from 149edo by its own half-step, although it is important to note that these vals are not better tuned than the patent val.

The 298d val in 11-limit (149edo with 298edo 11/8) is better tuned than the patent val (although not in the 17-limit) and supports hagrid, in addition to the 31 & 298d variant and the 118 & 298d variant of hemithirds. Some of the commas it tempers out make for much more interesting temperaments than the patent val. It still tempers out 243/242, but now it adds 1029/1024, 3136/3125, and 9801/9800.

The 298cd val supports miracle.
