617 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 617edo or 617ed2), also called 617-tone equal temperament (617tet) or 617 equal temperament (617et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 617 equal parts of about 1.94 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/617, or the 617th root of 2.

Theory

617edo is consistent to the 5-odd-limit. The equal temperament can be used in the 2.3.5.7.13.17.19.23.31 subgroup, tempering out 1701/1700, 1216/1215, 1729/1728, 676/675, 1127/1125, 260253/260000, 3969/3968 and 137241/137200. It supports majvam.

Using the 617c val (⟨617 978 1432 1732]), it tempers out 15625/15552, 2460375/2458624 and 3276800000/3268642167 in the 7-limit, supporting kleismic and marthirds.

Using the 617de val (⟨617 978 1433 1733 2135]), it tempers out 540/539, 5632/5631, 43923/43904 and 40960000/40920957 in the 11-limit, supporting jupiter.
