What is 96-EDO?
96-EDO is a musical intervallic system based on sixteenth-tone or 12.5 cent. Sixteenth-tone is calculated as the 96th root of 2, or 2 1/96, an irrational proportion with the approximate ratio of 1.0072464122 . It is the size of one degree, and thus the basic "step" size, in the 96-EDO. This system is capable
of giving good representations of Persian music intervals by many tuning theorists. It is also a superset which contains several subset EDOs like :
