357 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 357edo or 357ed2), also called 357-tone equal temperament (357tet) or 357 equal temperament (357et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 357 equal parts of about 3.36 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/357, or the 357th root of 2.

Theory

While not highly accurate for its size, 357et is the point where a few important temperaments meet. The equal temperament tempers out 1600000/1594323 (amity comma), and [61 4 -29 (squarschimidt comma) in the 5-limit; 10976/10935 (hemimage comma), 235298/234375 (triwellisma), 250047/250000 (landscape comma), 2100875/2097152 (rainy comma) in the 7-limit; 3025/3024, 5632/5625, 12005/11979 in the 11-limit; 676/675, 1001/1000, 2080/2079, 4096/4095, 4225/4224, 6656/6655 and 10648/10647 in the 13-limit.

It supports 5-limit amity and 7-limit weak extensions calamity and chromat. It provides the optimal patent val for 11- and 13-limit hemichromat, the 159 & 198 temperament. It also supports avicenna, but 270edo is better suited for this purpose.
