369 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 369edo or 369ed2), also called 369-tone equal temperament (369tet) or 369 equal temperament (369et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 369 equal parts of about 3.25 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/369, or the 369th root of 2.

Theory

369 = 9 × 41, and 369edo shares its fifth with 41edo. It has a sharp tendency, with harmonics 3 through 11 all tuned sharp. The equal temperament tempers out 2401/2400 and 4375/4374 in the 7-limit, so that it supports the ennealimmal temperament; in the 11-limit, 4000/3993, 5632/5625 and 16384/16335. It provides the optimal patent val for the 11-limit 130 & 239 temperament, the 65 & 152 temperament, and the rank-4 temperament tempering out 16384/16335, the semiporwellisma, as well as semiporwellic, the no-7 subgroup version thereof.

Extension to the 13-limit is viable by the 369f val, tempering out 1575/1573, 2080/2079, 2200/2197, and 3584/3575. The optimal tuning of this temperament is consistent in the 15-integer-limit.
