| | == Name == |
| | nSmallSteps = 6
| | {{TAMNAMS name}} The name derives from several naming puns/reasonings: |
| | Equalized = 6
| | |
| | Collapsed = 1
| | * The name sounds like its step counts of '''one''' large step and '''six''' small steps. |
| | Pattern = Lssssss
| | * Onyxes come in different colors and types, which is a metaphor for this scale's generator range being quite large and containing the generator ranges of other MOS scales, such as [[7L 1s]], [[8L 1s]], and [[9L 1s]]. |
| |Name=onyx}}
| | * Building on the observation that it is the 7-note (heptatonic) MOS that is the ancestor of all xL 1s scales with x>6, the name "onyx" also sounds similar to "one x", as in 1 large step and x small steps. |
| | * The name "onyx" is also supposed to be vaguely reminiscent of "anti-archaeotonic" as "chi" (the greek letter) is written like an "x" (this is related to why "christmas" is abbreviated sometimes as "X-mas") and the letters "o" and "n" and their sounds are also present in "archaeotonic", and "x" is vaguely reminiscent of negation and multiplication. There is also something like a "y" sound in "archaeotonic" in the "aeo" part. |

| {{MOS intro}} | | === Generator chain === |
| There is one notable low-harmonic-entropy scale with this [[MOS]] pattern: [[porcupine]], in which two generators make a [[6/5]] and three make a [[4/3]].

| Other scales include very improper (incomplete) versions of [[negri]], 12edo, etc.

| == Modes == | | == Theory == |
| Mode names are from [[Porcupine Temperament Modal Harmony|Porcupine temperament modal harmony]], proposed by [[William Lynch]]. Descriptive mode names reference the page's original descriptions of the modes.
| | === Low harmonic entropy scales === |
| {| class="wikitable" | | There is one notable harmonic entropy minimum: [[porcupine]], in which the generator is between 150 and 170{{c}}, two generators make a [[6/5]] (315.6{{c}}), and three make a [[4/3]] (498{{c}}). |
