770 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 770edo or 770ed2), also called 770-tone equal temperament (770tet) or 770 equal temperament (770et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 770 equal parts of about 1.56 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/770, or the 770th root of 2.

Theory

770edo is inconsistent to the 5-odd-limit and harmonic 3 is about halfway between its steps. It has a reasonable approximation of the 2.9.5.7.11 subgroup, where it notably tempers out 9801/9800.

Subsets and supersets

Since 770 factors into 2 × 5 × 7 × 11, 770edo has subset edos 2, 5, 7, 10, 11, 14, 22, 35, 55, 70, 77, 110, 154, and 385. 1540edo, which doubles it, gives a good correction to the harmonic 3.
