487 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 487edo or 487ed2), also called 487-tone equal temperament (487tet) or 487 equal temperament (487et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 487 equal parts of about 2.46 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/487, or the 487th root of 2.

Theory

487edo is distinctly consistent to the 13-odd-limit. The equal temperament tempers out [24 -21 4 (vulture comma) and [55 -1 -23 (counterwürschmidt comma) in the 5-limit, 4375/4374 (ragisma), 235298/234375 (triwellisma), and 33554432/33480783 (garischisma) in the 7-limit, 5632/5625, 12005/11979, 19712/19683, 41503/41472 in the 11-limit, 676/675, 1001/1000, 2080/2079, 4096/4095, and 4225/4224 in the 13-limit. It supports semidimfourth, seniority, and vulture.
