Ed255/128

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

An equal division of reduced harmonic 255 (ed255/128) is an equal-step tuning in which the octave-reduced 255th harmonic (255/128) is justly tuned and is divided in a given number of equal steps. 255/128 is very close to the octave, 2/1, but it is slightly flatter. This makes it suitable as an alternative to edos whose consonances are too sharp, such as 5edo.
