(rotated)]] Two copies of the simplest possible [[Hexany]], offset by a septimal tritone. This creates a scale of 1 25/24 7/6 25/21 5/4 10/7 35/24 5/3 7/4 25/14 2/1, with steps of 25/24 28/25 50/49 21/20 8/7 49/48 8/7 21/20 50/49 28/25. This is a particularly weak way of expanding out the base hexany, as not only are two notes duplicated, there are many more created which are close to the existing ones, only mildly reducing the size of the largest steps. This scale is only really useful if actively pursuing dissonance and tonal confusion is your goal, as while it does have three perfect fifths, they are almost exactly 600 cents apart from one-another, giving you no functional chord sequences to work with.
