71edo
| ← 70edo | 71edo | 72edo → |
71 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 71edo or 71ed2), also called 71-tone equal temperament (71tet) or 71 equal temperament (71et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 71 equal parts of about 16.9 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/71, or the 71st root of 2.
Theory
71edo is a dual-fifth system, with the flat fifth (which is near the fifths of 26edo and 45edo) supporting flattone temperament, and the sharp fifth (which is near 22edo's fifth) supporting superpyth. Unlike small dual-fifth systems such as 18edo, both fifths are close approximations of 3/2.
Using the patent val, the equal temperament tempers out 20480/19683 and 393216/390625 in the 5-limit, 875/864, 1029/1024 and 4000/3969 in the 7-limit, 100/99 and 245/242 in the 11-limit, and 91/90 in the 13-limit. In the 13-limit it supplies the optimal patent val for the 29 & 71 and 34 & 37 temperaments.
