374 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 374edo or 374ed2), also called 374-tone equal temperament (374tet) or 374 equal temperament (374et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 374 equal parts of about 3.21 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/374, or the 374th root of 2.

Theory

374et is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit since harmonic 5 is about halfway between its steps. Omitting the harmonic 5, it is consistent to the 31-odd-limit.

Using the patent val, the equal temperament tempers out 5120/5103, 1071875/1062882, 1500625/1492992, 2100875/2097152, and 9765625/9680832 in the 7-limit; 1375/1372, 4375/4356, 12005/11979, and 41503/41472 in the 11-limit. It supports quintakwai and quartemka.

Subsets and supersets

Since 374 factors into 2 × 11 × 17, 374edo has subset edos 2, 11, 17, 22, 34, and 187. 748edo, which doubles it, gives a good correction to the harmonic 5, but its approximation of harmonic 3 has drifted too far to render it inconsistent in the 9-odd-limit.
