11 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 11edo or 11ed2), also called 11-tone equal temperament (11tet) or 11 equal temperament (11et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 11 equal parts of about 109 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/11, or the 11th root of 2.

Theory

11edo is the first edo to support a non-equalized balzano (2L 7s) MOS. This is because its best fifth is flatter than mavila.

11edo also contains an excellent approximation of 9/7. Closing a circle of 11 9/7s at the octave is associated with the comma [4 -22 0 11, about 14 ¢.

1 109.1 14/13, 15/14, 16/15, 17/16, 20/19, 22/21 E F approximates the classical diatonic semitone of 16/15.
2 218.2 8/7, 15/13, 17/15, 19/17 ^E, F♭ ^F, vE is close to the mediant of 9/8 and 8/7.
3 327.3 17/14, 19/16 E♯, vF E is generally the sharpest possible minor third, serving as a generator for smitonic.
4 436.4 13/10, 14/11, 17/13, 19/15, 22/17 F G is extremely close to 9/7.
5 545.5 11/8, 15/11, 19/14 G ^G, vvA is close to 11/8.
6 654.5 16/11, 19/13, 22/15 A ^^G, vA is close to 16/11, but fills in for 3/2.
7 763.6 11/7, 17/11, 20/13 B A is extremely close to 14/9.
8 872.7 ^B, C♭ C is a decent submajor sixth.
9 981.8 7/4 B♯, vC ^C, vB is fairly close to 7/4.
10 1090.9 13/7, 15/8, 19/10, 21/11 C B is a great approximation of 15/8.
11 1200 2/1 D D is the only interval distinct from the unison shared by all edos.
