426 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 426edo or 426ed2), also called 426-tone equal temperament (426tet) or 426 equal temperament (426et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 426 equal parts of about 2.82 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/426, or the 426th root of 2.
Theory
426edo is consistent to the 9-odd-limit. Using the patent val, the equal temperament tempers out 65625/65536, 118098/117649, 250047/250000 in the 7-limit; 540/539, 4000/3993, 9801/9800, 24057/24010, 137781/137500, and 151263/151250 in the 11-limit. It supports the 5-limit version of untriton.
