684 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 684edo or 684ed2), also called 684-tone equal temperament (684tet) or 684 equal temperament (684et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 684 equal parts of about 1.75 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^1/684, or the 684th root of 2.

Theory

684edo divides the steps of 171edo into four. It is consistent to the 17-odd-limit, tempering out 2401/2400, 3025/3024, 4225/4224, 4375/4374, and 32805/32768 in the 13-limit; 1089/1088, 1225/1224, 1701/1700, 2025/2023, 2058/2057, 2500/2499, 8624/8619, and 14875/14872 in the 17-limit.
