TAMNAMS Extension: Difference between revisions

This is a systematic extension for the [[TAMNAMS]] MOS scale naming system based on parent / grandparent relationships. It's intended for a user interface so that every MOS pattern has a memorable name. There's also a more [[User:Frostburn/TAMNAMS_Extension|euphonic version]] at least for [[User:Frostburn]]'s taste.

== Diatonic family ==

This system introduces the following names for (grand)daughters of diatonic [[5L 2s]].

{| class="wikitable center-all"

|+ Diatonic family tree

!colspan=3| Daughters

| [[5L 7s]] || p-chromatic || Chromatic scale from pythagorean generator 3/2. S-chromatic is an alternative name.

| [[7L 5s]] || m-chromatic || Chromatic scale of [[meantone]]. F-chromatic is an alternative name.

!colspan=3| Granddaughters

| [[12L 5s]] || p-enharmonic || Enharmonic scale from 3/2 generator.

| [[12L 7s]] || f-enharmonic || Enharmonic scale of [[flattone]].

!colspan=3| Great-granddaughters

| [[12L 17s]] || pythagotonic || Generator is 3/2. Small step is the [[Pythagorean comma]]

| [[17L 12s]] || gothitonic || Generator falls in the [[Gentle region|neo-gothic range]].

| [[19L 12s]] || fauxarabian || One possible generator is double of neutral third [[11/9]] while the scale still sounds neutral

| [[19L 7s]] || velic || Possible generator [[112/75]] is called the mar'''velous''' fifth

| [[7L 19s]] || siskoic || Play on words: ''Veli'' means brother in Finnish and ''sisko'' means sister.

!colspan=3| Great-great-granddaughters

| [[12L 29s]] || pythamystonic || Generator is 3/2. Large step is [[29-comma|mystery comma]]. Small step is pythagorean comma.

| [[29L 12s]] || antipythamystonic ||

| [[12L 31s]] || fauxmuscovian || Parent is fauxrussian. Muscovy is a sub region of Russia.

| [[19L 31s]] || fauxsaudi || Parent is fauxarabian. Saudis live in a sub region of Arabia.

| [[31L 19s]] || fauxomani || Parent is fauxarabian. Omani live in a sub region of Arabia.

| [[41L 12s]] || pythomerc || Generator is 3/2. Transitional scale between ones dominated by pythagorean and mercator commas.

Rest of the MOS scales up to 10 notes are treated similarly to diatonic using the shorthand ''chro'' for ''chromatic''. If the parent scale of a basic MOS scale is hard the name is ''p-chro (parent's name)'' e.g. ''p-chro machinoid'' for [[5L 6s]] (''s-chro machinoid'' is an alternative). On the other hand if the parent scale of a basic MOS is soft the name is ''m-chro (parent's name)'' e.g. ''m-chro machinoid'' for [[6L 5s]] (''f-chro machinoid'' is an alternative).

 

Granddaughters are analogues of m-enharmonic, f-enharmonic, p-enharmonic and s-enharmonic. The system's shorthand for ''enharmonic'' is ''enhar''.

!colspan=2 | Basic granddaughter scales

| 4:3 || m-enhar (grandparent's name)

| 5:3 || f-enhar (grandparent's name)

| 5:2 || p-enhar (grandparent's name)

| 4:1 || s-enhar (grandparent's name)

|}

 

Great-granddaughters derive names from the hardness of the great-grandparent scale e.g. minisoft becomes miso.

!colspan=2 | Basic great-granddaughter scales

| 5:4 || uso-(great-grandparent's name)

| 7:5 || paso-(great-grandparent's name)

| 8:5 || quso-(great-grandparent's name)

| 7:4 || miso-(great-grandparent's name)

| 7:3 || miha-(great-grandparent's name)

| 7:2 || paha-(great-grandparent's name)

| 5:1 || uha-(great-grandparent's name)

Here's a sample of some scales this family-tree based system assigns names to.
