2L 3s (3/2-equivalent): Difference between revisions

The name ''saturnian'' was coined by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]], referring to this MOS being the sister MOS of [[3L 2s (3/2-equivalent)|uranian]].

This scale contains 2 diminished triads represented by stacks of the minor third generator. [[Basic]] saturnian is in [[7edf]], a very close approximation of [[12edo]], which allows for playing diatonic music and saturnian music at the same time.  2L 3s⟨3/2⟩ is the parent of the 3/2-repeating [[macrodiatonic and microdiatonic scales|microdiatonic scale]], [[5L 2s (3/2-equivalent)|5L 2s⟨3/2⟩]], and the sister of [[3L 2s (3/2-equivalent)|3L 2s⟨3/2⟩]] (uranian) which is generated by a subminor third rather than a minor third.  

From a [[half-prime subgroup]] point of view, 2L 3s⟨3/2⟩ can be interpreted as the [[Sirius B]] [[temperament]], where the generator is represented by the minor third ~[[25/21]] and 2 of them make ~[[7/5]]. It may also be interpreted as [[meanquad]] temperament using a period of [[3/2]] rather than [[4/1]], where the generator is represented by [[32/27]]~[[6/5]] (in the [[CTE tuning]], it is exactly 32/27). Both temperaments have very similar generators.

The mode names were coined by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]], based on the 6 largest satellites of Saturn, excluding Titan since the "Titanian" name has been used for the [[3L 2s (3/2-equivalent)|uranian scale]].
