7afdo is a scale which is defined by taking the harmonic series from harmonics 7 to 14. Due to it not having a 3/2 over the tonic it does not lend itself well to common-practice-style harmony unless rotated.

The smallest edo which makes the notes distinct is 7edo, and the smallest which makes the intervals distinct is 87edo.

Modes

8:9:10:11:12:13:14:16

This is the just-intonation version of the acoustic scale. This is 8afdo without the 15th harmonic. As a result, it can sound very Mixolydian.

12:13:14:16:18:20:22:24

This scale sounds like a warped Dorian scale and has a 4/3 and 3/2 above the tonic, allowing one to think of it as a tetrachordal scale with two different tetrachords.
