390 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 390edo or 390ed2), also called 390-tone equal temperament (390tet) or 390 equal temperament (390et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 390 equal parts of about 3.08 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/390, or the 390th root of 2.

Theory

390et is enfactored in the 5-limit, with the same tuning as 65edo. But its approximation to higher harmonics are improved, so that it is suitable for use in the 2.3.7.11.13.17.23.31.41 subgroup.

Using the patent val nonetheless, it tempers out 2401/2400 and 3136/3125 in the 7-limit, supporting hemiwürschmidt.

Subsets and supersets

Since 390 factors into 2 × 3 × 5 × 13, 390edo has subset edos 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 13, 15, 26, 30, 39, 65, 78, 130, and 195. 780edo, which doubles it, gives a good correction to the harmonic 5.
