524 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 524edo or 524ed2), also called 524-tone equal temperament (524tet) or 524 equal temperament (524et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 524 equal parts of about 2.29 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/524, or the 524th root of 2.

Theory

524edo is only consistent to the 5-odd-limit and harmonic 3 is about halfway between its steps. Otherwise it has a good approximation to harmonics 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19, making it suitable for a 2.9.15.7.11.13.17.19 subgroup interpretation. The 2.9.7.13.19 subgroup is particularly good, where it supports Eliora's ostara, the 93 & 524 temperament. The generator 293\524 represents the 28/19 interval in the 2.7.19 subgroup and it serves as ostara's generator in the no-threes 19-limit. Being around 671 cents, can also be used to as a generator for mavila or pelog.

In the 13-limit, 524edo tempers out 1001/1000 and 6664/6655.
