Special properties

1 equal division of 33/32 (1ed33/32), also known as ambitonal sequence of 33/32 (AS33/32) or 33/32 equal-step tuning, is an equal multiplication of 33/32 (the Alpharabian quarter-tone), and results in a nonoctave tuning equivalent to 22.5255 EDO.

Lookalikes: 5ed7/6, 45ed4

In this tuning, 2 steps by definition correspond to the parapotome 1089/1024.

Intervals with excellent approximation in this tuning are: 7/6 (5), 20/13 (14), 18/11 (16). Other intervals with good approximation are: 6/5, 7/5, 9/5, 13/7, 13/9, 11/10, 19/12, 17/16, 17/15, 16/15.

In the 5-limit, 1ed33/32 tempers out the syntonic comma 81/80, making it meantone.

In the 7-limit, as a consequence of representing 6/5 and 7/6 well, it's great at representing the 5:6:7 otonal tetrad. This means that 385/384 is tempered out.
