4 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 4edo or 4ed2), also called 4-tone equal temperament (4tet) or 4 equal temperament (4et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 4 equal parts of exactly 300 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/4, or the 4th root of 2.

Theory

4edo is commonly known as the diminished 7th chord in 12edo. It is also a form of diminished temperament, as 6/5 is mapped to 1\4.

Notation

A B C D

The tritone is A-C.
