1931 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1931edo or 1931ed2), also called 1931-tone equal temperament (1931tet) or 1931 equal temperament (1931et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1931 equal parts of about 0.621 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1931, or the 1931st root of 2.

Theory

1931edo is consistent to the 7-limit and its harmonic 3 is about halfway its steps. As an equal temperament, it tempers out 2401/2400, 359661568/358722675 and [-42 -26 31 4 in the 7-limit. It is strong in the 2.9.7.11.17.23 subgroup, tempering out 5832/5831, 1896129/1895936, 43614208/43610967, 40257567/40247296, 448204933/448084224. The harmonics 7 and 23 have a remarkably small relative error of 0.2 percent. 1931edo supports newt.
