397 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 397edo or 397ed2), also called 397-tone equal temperament (397tet) or 397 equal temperament (397et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 397 equal parts of about 3.02 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/397, or the 397th root of 2.

Theory

397edo is only consistent to the 5-odd-limit, with three mappings possible for the 7-limit:

  • 397 629 922 1115] (patent val)
  • 397 629 922 1114] (397d val)
  • 397 629 921 1114] (397cd val)

Using the patent val, it tempers out 129140163/128000000 and [55 -1 -23 in the 5-limit; 6144/6125, 16875/16807 and 129140163/128000000 in the 7-limit; supporting grendel.

Using the 397d val, it tempers out 129140163/128000000 and [55 -1 -23 in the 5-limit; 3136/3125, 420175/419904 and 33756345/33554432 in the 7-limit; supporting sengagen.

Using the 397cd val, it tempers out 390625000/387420489 and [-55 23 8 in the 5-limit; 2401/2400, 390625/387072 and 14348907/14336000 in the 7-limit; supporting cotritone.
