← 430edo | 431edo | 432edo → |
431 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 431edo or 431ed2), also called 431-tone equal temperament (431tet) or 431 equal temperament (431et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 431 equal parts of about 2.78 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/431, or the 431st root of 2.
Theory
431edo is consistent to the 15-odd-limit. The equal temperament tempers out the schisma in the 5-limit; 2401/2400 in the 7-limit; 5632/5625 and 8019/8000 in the 11-limit; 729/728, 1001/1000, 1716/1715, 4096/4095, 6656/6655 and 10648/10647 in the 13-limit. It supports the sesquiquartififths temperament.
It allows essentially tempered chords of squbemic chords and sinbadmic chords in the 13-odd-limit.
