Omnitetrachordal MOS and MODMOS scale

12L+12s

24 tones (10+4+10)

catler, compton; 3 forms

Form 1 (MOS) has some unusual properties:

  • it has only two modes
  • either mode may be split in any of the three possible omnitetrachordal ways (9/8-4/3-4/3, 4/3-9/8-4/3, 4/3-4/3-9/8)
  • it is its own dual (changing all L to s, and vice versa, gives the same scale)

See also OTC 5L+5s (blackwood) and OTC 7L+7s (whitewood), which have similar properties.

For all 3 forms:

  • the (imperfect) tunings of 9/8 and 4/3 are independent of L/s ratio

Forms 2 and 3 are duals.

P = undefined (-1?)

Q = 24.5754362493 (4/3 = 5L+4.5s)

L = 50.00 to 100.00 cents (96.09 cents @ Q)

s = 0.00 to 50.00 cents (3.91 cents @ Q)

9/8 = 2L+2s (200.00 cents, for any L/s)

4/3 = 5L+5s (500.00 cents, for any L/s)

MOS generator = s (0.00 to 50.00 cents)

MOS period = 1/12 octave (100.00 cents)

notable EDOs: 36, 48, 60, 72, 84
