	An '''octatonic ~~scale~~''' is ~~any~~ 8~~-tone~~ [[~~scale~~]].		An '''octatonic''' scale is a [[scale]] with 8 tones per [[equave]].

	The octatonic scale often refers to Diminished[8], the [[4L 4s]] multi-[[~~MOS~~ scale]] of the [[~~Diminished~~ (temperament)\|diminished ~~temperament~~]]. In [[12edo]], this is the scale of alternating half and whole steps (1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2), but it can also be realized in other tunings such as [[44edo]] (3 8 3 8 3 8 3 8). It is used in both classical and jazz music; in jazz theory, it is usually called the '''diminished scale'''. Due to the even number of tones they have, the octatonic scale is better served by reversing the roles of fifths and sixths, creating many regular triads.
