299 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 299edo or 299ed2), also called 299-tone equal temperament (299tet) or 299 equal temperament (299et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 299 equal parts of about 4.01 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/299, or the 299th root of 2.

Theory

In the 5-limit, 299et tempers out the kleisma, 15625/15552, in the 7-limit 10976/10935, in the 11-limit 385/384; and in the 13-limit 325/324, 625/624 and 676/675. It provides the optimal patent val for the 13-limit rank-3 enlil temperament, and the rank-4 temperament tempering out 325/324 and 385/384.
