Concoctic scale (name proposed by Eliora) is a [[Maximal evenness|maximum eveness]] scale which has the same number of notes as its MOS generator.
{{Editable user page}}
A '''concoctic scale''' (name proposed by Eliora) is a [[maximally even]] scale which has the same number of notes as its MOS [[generator]].


12edo 5L2s diatonic scale, the predominantly used scale in the world's music today, is an example.

The length of a maximum evenness scale's generator can be determined through a '''modular multiplicative inverse''' of the note amount and the tuning size<ref>https://individual.utoronto.ca/kalendis/leap/index.htm</ref>:

There are also paraconcoctic scales, or chroma-negative concoctic scales. The formula for such a scale is  
A scale is called '''orthoconcoctic''', if the generator corresponding to note amount is the chroma-positive generator, for example - the 12edo diatonic scale is. There are also '''paraconcoctic''' scales, or chroma-negative concoctic scales. The formula for such a scale is  


<math>a^2 \equiv -1\mod N \hspace{4cm} (2)</math>.
<math>a^2 \equiv -1\mod N \hspace{4cm} (2)</math>.


Since octave-inverting the MOS generator has no impact on the scale, paraconcoctic scales are identical to their usual, orthoconcoctic counterparts. However, the difference is pronounced in keyboard making - in terms of chroma direction, the white keys' generator will be the amount of black keys and vice versa.

=== Example ===
12edo keyboard layout predominantly in use in the world today features 7 white keys and 5 black keys. In direction-conscious manner, the diatonic scale of 7 keys is obtained by stacking the generator, 7\12 fifth 7 times. Likewise, the pentatonic of black keys is obtained by stacking the 5\12 perfect fourth 5 times. And such scale is generated with the first formula.

On the other hand, in [[25edo]], stacking 18\25 will lead to maximum evenness scale of 7 note "black keys", and stacking 7\25 will result in a 18-note scale of "white keys". This is the EDO that only has the scale through the second formula.
