83edo
| ← 82edo | 83edo | 84edo → |
83 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 83edo or 83ed2), also called 83-tone equal temperament (83tet) or 83 equal temperament (83et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 83 equal parts of about 14.5 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/83, or the 83rd root of 2.
Theory
The harmonic 3 is 6.5 cents sharp and the 5 is 4 cents sharp, with 7, 11, and 13 more accurate but a little flat. Using the patent val, it tempers out 15625/15552 in the 5-limit and 686/675, 4000/3969 and 6144/6125 in the 7-limit, and provides the optimal patent val for the 7-limit 27 & 56 temperament with wedgie ⟨⟨ 5 18 17 17 13 -11 ]]. In the 11-limit it tempers out 121/120, 176/175 and 385/384, and in the 13-limit 91/90, 169/168 and 196/195, and it provides the optimal patent val for the 11-limit 22 & 61 temperament and the 13-limit 15 & 83 temperament.
Every odd harmonic between the 7th and the 17th is tuned flatly. As a consequence, this tuning provides a good approximation of the 7:9:11:13:15:17 hexad, and especially of the 9:11:13 triad.
