814 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 814edo or 814ed2), also called 814-tone equal temperament (814tet) or 814 equal temperament (814et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 814 equal parts of about 1.47 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/814, or the 814th root of 2.

Theory

814edo is distinctly consistent to the 17-odd-limit and is a strong 17-limit system. The equal temperament is enfactored in the 5-limit, tempering out the schisma as does 407et. In the 7-limit it tempers out 2401/2400 so that it supports and gives a good tuning for sesquiquartififths. In the 11-limit it tempers out 9801/9800, in the 13-limit 4225/4224 and 6656/6655, and in the 17-limit 1701/1700, 2058/2057, 2601/2600, 4914/4913 and 5832/5831. The 171 & 643 temperament gives an extension of sesquiquartififths to the 17-limit for which 814edo provides the optimal patent val.
