82 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 82edo or 82ed2), also called 82-tone equal temperament (82tet) or 82 equal temperament (82et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 82 equal parts of about 14.6 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/82, or the 82nd root of 2.

Theory

82edo's patent val is contorted in the 11-limit, from 82 = 2 × 41. In the 13-limit the patent val tempers out 169/168 and 676/675, and in the 17-limit tempers out 273/272. It provides the optimal patent val for soothsaying temperament and supports baladic temperament. The 82d val tempers out 50/49 and is an excellent tuning for astrology & byhearted, surpassing their optimal patent vals. The alternative 82e val tempers out 121/120 instead.
