Each tone having 88 cents? Yip! 88CET = "88 Cent [per step] Equal Temperament". Each pitch in the system is 88 cents away from its closest neighbor. It can be thought of as a close approximation to all of the following: 2 steps per 10:9 10 steps per 5:3 3 steps per 7:6 11 steps per 7:4 4 steps per 11:9 15 steps per 15:7 5 steps per 9:7 16 steps per 9:4 7 steps per 10:7 18 steps per 5:2 8 steps per 3:2 Also, it has these "OK" approximations: 6 steps per 15:11 12 steps per 11:6 17 steps per 12:5 To the best of my knowledge I first discovered 88CET, although I haven't done any extensive research to verify that. Several list members other than me (such as Bill Sethares, Paul Fly, and Warren Burt) have written some impressive music in it.
