472 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 472edo or 472ed2), also called 472-tone equal temperament (472tet) or 472 equal temperament (472et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 472 equal parts of about 2.54 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/472, or the 472nd root of 2.
Theory
472edo is enfactored in the 5-limit, with the same tuning as 118edo, defined by tempering out the schisma and the parakleisma, but the approximation to higher harmonics are much improved. It is a zeta peak integer edo, consistent to the 11-odd-limit or the no-13 29-odd-limit.
In the 7-limit, the equal temperament tempers out 2401/2400, 2460375/2458624, and 30623756184/30517578125; in the 11-limit, 9801/9800, 46656/46585, 117649/117612, and 234375/234256, supporting the maviloid temperament, the bisesqui temperament, and the octant temperament. Using the patent val, it tempers out 729/728, 1575/1573, 2200/2197, 4096/4095, and 21168/21125 in the 13-limit, so it also supports the 13-limit octant.
