The three standard diamech scale patterns, denoted 4sL (LsLsLmLsLsm), 4sC (LmLsLsLmLss), and 4sR (LsLmLsLsLms), may be constructed via [[MOS substitution]], giving [[generator sequence]]s for the three scales:

=== Untempered 2.3.7 ===
The standard untempered 2.3.7 interpretation for diamech has L = [[9/8]], m = [[49/48]], s = [[64/63]].
The standard untempered 2.3.7 interpretation for diaslen has L = [[9/8]], m = [[49/48]], s = [[64/63]].


=== Huntmic (2.3.7.13/5[640/637]) ===
=== Buzzard (2.3.7.13/5[640/637, 676/675]) ===
[[Huntmic]] is an important temperament for diamech offering an elegant combination of interordinals and making 7/4 sharper in systems exaggerating [[49/48]] and splitting it into two equal parts. Assuming the 2.3.7 interpretation above and the constraint m:s = 2:1 makes L + m  = 147/128 exactly half of 2L + m + 2s = 4/3, making it natural to set 147/128 equal to 15/13, tempering out [[640/637]]. [[53edo]] (9:2:1) and [[58edo]] (10:2:1) offer particularly good tunings for this interpretation; while the 58edo tuning's s step is smaller than that of the 53edo tuning, 58edo has better 7/6, 9/7, 15/13, and 13/10 as well as giving you a free 11:13:15.
