3696 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 3696edo or 3696ed2), also called 3696-tone equal temperament (3696tet) or 3696 equal temperament (3696et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 3696 equal parts of about 0.325 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/3696, or the 3696th root of 2.

Theory

3696edo is consistent in the 17-odd-limit. It is contorted in the 11-limit, sharing the mapping with 1848edo, and provides a satisfactory correction to 1848edo's representation for 13 and 17. Besides that, it is a strong tuning in 2.3.5.7.11.23.29.
