631 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 631edo or 631ed2), also called 631-tone equal temperament (631tet) or 631 equal temperament (631et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 631 equal parts of about 1.9 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/631, or the 631st root of 2.
Theory
631edo is consistent to the 9-odd-limit, with all of the odd harmonics having a flat tendency. Using the patent val, the equal temperament tempers out 4375/4374, 41503/41472, 32805/32768 and 12005/11979 in the 11-limit; 1575/1573, 4375/4374, 4459/4455, 4225/4224 and 83349/83200 in the 13-limit.
