# Equal Temperament Tuning In 12-tone equal temperament (12-TET), the octave is divided into 12 equal semitones, where each semitone represents a frequency ratio of exactly 2^(1/12) ≈ 1.05946. This matters because it allows instruments to play in any key with equal consonance and enables seamless modulation between keys, though it requires slightly detuning most intervals from their pure mathematical ratios. Equal temperament became the dominant Western tuning system because it solved the practical problem of keyboard instruments sounding out of tune in distant keys.
