Are you interested in microtonal music with wild and wacky harmonies but want some familiarity to guide you? Heard about this Porcupine thing but not sure how to get 12 notes of it? Wish you had something like Porcupine but more accurate or with more interesting scales? Introducing Pinetone. The scales you know and love, with a new-age quirky spin. The perfect mix of consonant and dissonant harmonies, familiar and newfangled. Try it on your keyboard straight away (if you can retune your keyboard using Scala files, grab [[Pinetone chromatic (sharps)|this one]]! Copy the text into notepad and save as a .scl file). | "Are you interested in microtonal music with wild and wacky harmonies but want some familiarity to guide you?

Pinetone combines [[Porcupine]] – arguably the best way to add the 11th harmonic to major and minor harmonies in a seven-note scale – with [[Meantone]] – the system underpinning most common practice music from the last several hundred years, so all the same scales (diatonic, harmonic minor, pentatonic, chromatic, etc.) are still available, just with a new Porcupine spin, and the 11th harmonic (and the 13th harmonic as well!). | Pinetone combines [[Porcupine]] – arguably the best way to add the 11th harmonic to major and minor harmonies in a seven-note scale – with [[Meantone]] – the system underpinning most common practice music from the last several hundred years, so all the same scales (diatonic, harmonic minor, pentatonic, chromatic, etc.) are still available, just with a new Porcupine spin, and the 11th harmonic (and the 13th harmonic as well!). | ||

Additionally available in Pinetone are | Additionally available in Pinetone are two sets of octatonic modes with their own Porcupine-like functional harmony that combine [[Porcupine]][8] with the [[oneirotonic]] modes that are gaining popularity at the moment. Finally, Pinetone diminished scales combine Porcupine with the familiar diminished scale. | ||
If you have a [[Lumatone]], you can use the standard Bosanquet mapping for 12edo. The white keys are the Pinetone diatonic, a cross between the Meantone diatonic scale and Porcupine[7], and the black keys give the Pinetone pentatonic, which approximates the [[just intonation]] pentatonic scale 9/8 5/4 3/2 5/3 2/1. I've chosen to colour the G♯/A♭ key pink, and the other chromatic keys blue, because I'm a proud trans woman and a big nerd. You can use any colours, but I find it helps to colour the G♯/A♭ key a different colour since that's the one chromatic key used along with the diatonic keys to make the Pinetone octatonic. The white keys and the pink key together make a Pinetone octatonic scale - major-harmonic with G♯ and minor-harmonic for A♭. This is what I call the ''Pinetone System.'' | If you have a [[Lumatone]], you can use the standard Bosanquet mapping for 12edo.

Also of interest are the quartal triads of the Pinetone diatonic. We describe these as stacked 3-step intervals (fourths) of the scale, with major and minor designating the large and small 3-step intervals (fourths) respectively. This may seem an odd way to describe quartal chords, but it is consistent with the naming scheme I introduce for the Porcupine[7] 3-step (quartal) triads along side the quartal triads of the Pinetone diatonic. | Also of interest are the quartal triads of the Pinetone diatonic.

We can see that compared to tertian (2-step stacked) chords, quartal (3-step stacked) chords are much more evenly spread in the Pinetone diatonic. 3-step pentads ala the quartal voicings of modern jazz harmony may also be of interest. Two octaves are spanned by four 3-step intervals and a 2-step remainder. Given that Pinetone cannot be generated by 4/3 perfect fourths like Meantone can these pentads have much more variety in Pinetone than in Meantone. As in modern jazz, variety is found through utilizing all inversions of the pentad. The root position and 2nd inversion are shown, where the second inversion spans an octave with a symmetric pattern of two 3-step intervals on either side of a 2-step interval. Root position pentads on A and B (2nd inversion on G and A) cover the notes of the [[The Pinetone System#Pinetone pentatonic|Pinetone major and minor pentatonics]] respectively, introduced below. | We can see that compared to tertian (2-step stacked) chords, quartal (3-step stacked) chords are much more evenly spread in the Pinetone diatonic. 3-step pentads ala the quartal voicings of modern jazz harmony may also be of interest.

Note the more complex intervals: 55/54, 55/36, 72/55, and 108/55. If we temper out an additional comma, we can equate these with simpler intervals, adding prime 13: Tempering out 144/143, these four interval approximate 40/39, 20/13, 13/10, and 39/20 respectively. Tempering out 144/143 also means that the small step of the Pinetone diatonic, equivalently the large step of the Pinetone chromatic approximates 13/12, which, when all three are justly tuned, lies between the other intervals approximated by the step - 27/25, and 12/11. | Note the more complex intervals: 55/54, 55/36, 72/55, and 108/55.

If a full 13-limit tuning is desired, there are two options. The interval approximating 13/10 may either be tempered to approximate 21/16, leading to Supermagic, or 7/6, leading to Thrasher. The Supermagic tuning decreases the size of the small step, and the Starling tuning increases it. The Supermagic tuning reduces to Flattone (where 7/4 is found at a diminished 7th) and Porcupine (where 7/4 is found at a minor seventh), and the Starling tuning reduces to Meanenneadecal and Opossum (both where 7/4 is found at an augmented 6th). If we temper to 13/10 to equate to both 9/7 and 21/16, we get Keema, an extension of Hanson temperament. Keema[7] comprises 4 large steps of 247.695c, and 3 small steps of 69.682c. | |+(2.3.5.11.13) Ptolemismic Pinetone Chromatic | ||

The scale D E F G A B C has step pattern MsMLMsM, which tempers to sssLsss under Porcupine (M=s) and LsLLLsL under Meantone (M=L). | |||
Raising an F to an F♯ replaces ~6/5 with ~11/9, i.e., it raises the F by ~55/54, which is tempered out in [[Porcupine]], so the scale D E F♯ G A B C tempers to sssLsss under Porcupine as before, but to LLsLLsL under Meantone (Mixolydian mode rather than Dorian as before). The modes of this scale are detailed in Table 4.3. Similarly, lowering B to B♭ lowers by ~55/54, leading to the Duradian ♯5 shown in Table 4.4, which I consider to be a really beautiful minor mode. | |||
To calculate the mode numbers for Tables 4.3-4.5, the mode numbers of their temperings to Porcupine and to [[Meantone]] were added, ordered, and renumbered. When two modes are tied, small changes in tuning will affect their order. Given that Ptolemismic Porcupine is more accurate than Ptolemismic Meantone, the Porcupine mode number is weighted more heavily to determine the mode order in the event of any ties. Modes are named via the [[Tetracot]][7] [[MODMOS]] they temper to when [[243/242]] is tempered out (i.e., the difference between [[11/9]] and [[27/22]]), as in [[27edo]], [[34edo]], and [[41edo]]. Table 4.2 introduces the modes of Tetracot[7]. The Pinetone diatonic, therefore, is also a detempering of a Tetracot MODMOS, with generator chain equivalent to that of the double harmonic major scale (a MODMOS of the Meantone diatonic scale). Tetracot[7] mode names used the Archeotonic mode names [[6L 1s#Proposed names|here]] as a basis, with the substitution of Azurian, Duradian, and Phyradian as Tetracot specific mode names from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYZwye9PWSo here]. | |||

Note that the Pinetone melodic major includes a neutral triad 18:22:27 on the root of the Mixolydian symmetric minor, and the Pinetone melodic minor includes it's inverse on the root of the Dorian bright major, a flavour of triad not available in the Pinetone diatonic. | |||

Of all Pinetone heptatonic scales, Ryonian ♯2♯3♯4 is the brightest, and Phyradian ♭5♭6♭7 is the darkest. Note also that Ryonian ♯2♯3♯4 begins with the harmonic series segment 8:9:10:11:12. In fact, remarkably, the entire mode can be represented as the harmonic series segment 24:27:30:33:36:40:44:48. Note that the Phyradian dark minor and the Karakalian bright minors are tetrachordal, along with the Pinetone diatonic. | |||
None of these other diatonic scales are useful as a basis for tonal harmony, since for all of these scales the only two major or minor chords are part of the same minor 7 chord. Instead they may be employed for melodic reasons, as alternate modes to use with the minor 7 chord, or for the harmonic series segment 8:9:10:11:12, etc. | |||
== Pinetone octatonic scales == | |||
The Porcupine comma is the small step of the Pinetone chromatic, so tempering the Pinetone chromatic scale to Porcupine leads from 7L 1m 4s = (27/25, 25/24, 250/243) to 7L 1s = (10/9~27/25, 25/24~81/80), which is Porcupine[8]! The Porcupine[7] scale has its large step between G and A, so the eighth note of Porcupine[8] is either G♯ or A♭, adding another small step of Porcupine[7] below A (for G♯) or above G (A♭). Mode -3 or mode 3 of the Pinetone chromatic scale, respectively, are set to D so that this is preserved in Pinetone. This leads to the Pinetone octatonic scales: D E F G G♯/A♭ A B C. In just intonation: 10/9 6/5 4/3 25/18 3/2 5/3 9/5 2/1 with G♯, or 10/9 6/5 4/3 36/25 3/2 5/3 9/5 2/1 with A♭. This scale has 4 large steps of 10/9, 3 medium steps of 27/25, and 1 small step of 25/24. It is not mirror-symmetric, or equivalentely, it is ''[[Chirality|chiral]]'' so it cannot be uniquely defined with a step signature like Meantone[7], Porcupine[7], Porcupine[8], Meantone[12], and the Pinetone diatonic (the Zarlino/Ptolemy just major scale is also not mirror symmetric). Scales that can be uniquely defined by a step signature are called ''step-nested scales''. More on that later. The Pinetone octatonic with G♯ is called the Pinetone major-harmonic octatonic, and the Pinetone octatonic with A♭ is called the Pinetone minor-harmonic octatonic. These names will make sense to the reader after further reading on these scales and the chords they contain, and on the Pintone diminished octatonic introduced below. The mirror inverse of any mode of the Pinetone major-harmonic octatonic is a mode of the Pinetone minor-harmonic octatonic (see [[chirality]]). This is true similarly of the familiar harmonic minor and harmonic major scales. | |||
On a keyboard with standard (Bosanquet or 12edo) mapping, the Pinetone octatonic is the C Major bebop scale! On my [[Lumatone]] I chose to colour the G♯/A♭ pink, and the rest of the chromatic notes blue, so the Pinetone octatonic is on the white and pink keys, while there's a Pinetone diatonic on the white keys and a Pinetone pentatonic on the blue and pink keys. | |||
If we temper out the difference between the large and medium steps, we reduce the scale to Porcupine[8]. As we discussed above, Porcupine is generated by the interval 10/9~27/25. The table below introduces a set of functional mode names for Porcupine[8]. Along with the step pattern and mode number, the modes' [[UDP]] are show in the table. A mode's UDP shows the number of generators in the direction the brighten the intervals of scale, followed the number of generators in the direction that darkens it, (followed by the number of periods per octave, if it is not one. In this case the scale repeats at the octave, so P = 1, and is not shown). Instead of building chords by stacking thirds (2-step intervals), in octatonic scales we can build major and minor triads by stacking 3-step intervals! Instead of diminished, we get modes with two large fourths making a quartal chord: Accordingly we call these modes 'quartal'. When we stack 3-step intervals of 8-note scales out minor triads come in first inversion, and our major triads come in second inversion, as the 3-step intervals of octatonic scales include 5/4 and 4/3. Hence the brightest modes are quartal, and the darkest are minor. The eighth note of Porcupine[8] is typically called 'H', and is equivalent to the note A♭ of Porcupine[7], but we will show the modes for G# as the eighth note as well, since we may use G# in our Pinetone chromatic and octatonic scales. | |||
The step signature and mapping of 5-limit Porcupine[8] is 7L 1s = (10/9~27/25, 25/24~81/80). | |||

All of these triads are pretty consonant, shoutout to Porcupine[8]! | |||
We get Father[8], instead, if we temper out the difference (16/15) between the large step and the small step. Recall that the porcupine pentatonic reduces to Father[5], a subset of Father[8]. Father scales are generated by an interval representing both 5/4 and 4/3 (the 3-step interval of 8-note scales). The modes of Father[8] have names in use already, as an [[oneirotonic]]. These are shown in the table below with the mode number, step patter, and UDP. | |||
The step signature and mapping of 5-limit Father[8] is 5L 3s = (10/9~25/24~32/27, 27/25~81/80). | |||

For our modes of the left handed and right handed porcupine octatonic scales we prefix the functional mode names for Porcupine[8], with the [[oneirotonic]] mode names associated with Father[8]. Like in the tables of modes of the Pinetone diatonic, the modes are listed in order of brightest, with the brightest mode at the top, and the darkest mode at the bottom. | |||

Tempering out 100/99, the large step (174.05488c) represents 10/9~11/10, the medium step (146.63528c) represents 27/25~12/11, and the small step (63.14327c) represents 25/24~33/32. The following tables display the JI intervals approximated by the modes of the Ptolemismic Pinetone major and minor-harmonic octatonic scales, along with the scale steps in cents. See [http://x31eq.com/cgi-bin/rt.cgi?ets=4p%263p%261ce&limit=2.3.5.11 TE tuning]. | |||
Tempering out 144/143 as well, the large step is tuned to 175.89183c TE, medium step (142.77537c TE) also represents 13/12, and the small step (66.76626c TE) also represents 27/26. See [http://x31eq.com/cgi-bin/rt.cgi?ets=4f%263f%261ce&limit=2.3.5.11.13 TE tuning]. | |||

We could alternatively treat either Pinetone harmonic octatonic as a bebop scale, using 2-step stacked tetrads. Since the scale has 8 notes, there are only 2 different 2-step stacked tetrads. In 12edo these are the major add 6 and the fully diminished tetrads. The meantone C major add 6 tunes to 45:55:66:75 in Pinetone. Using the G♯, as in the Pinetone major-harmonic octatonic, the G♯ diminished tetrad tunes to 33:40:48:55 (when B is the bottom note). Using the A♭, as in the Pinetone minor-harmonic octatonic, the B diminished tetrad also tunes to 33:40:48:55 (when D is the bottom note). | |||
Unlike the Pinetone diatonic, and chromatic scales, the Pinetone harmonic octatonics are chiral, and is therefore not step-nested scales. As we can see, they more complex than the Pinetone diatonic. The Pinetone pentatonic and diatonic scales is also wakalix / PWF, and it can be seen that the Pinetone harmonic octatonics are more complex than the Pinetone pentatonic as well. It is left as an exercise for the reader to determine the complexity of the Pinetone chromatic, and compare that to the Pinetone harmonic octatonics. | |||
===Pinetone diminished octatonic=== | |||
Modifying the right or left-handed Pinetone octatonic by switching the order of adjacent pairs of large and medium steps, i.e., by modifying steps of the scale by the L-M chroma - the difference between the large and medium steps - leads to similar Porcupine[8] detempers. Since L and M temper together under Porcupine tempering, any resulting scale tempers to Porcupine[8] just as before, but the scale it tempers to under Diminished and Father temperaments are modified. | |||
Take the Ultharian dark major mode of the Pinetone major-harmonic octatonic, for example: LMLsMLML. Raising the sixth and eighth degrees of the scale by the L-M chroma leads to the mode LMLsLMLM. Similarly, taking the Mnarian middle major mode LMLMsLML of the Pinetone minor-harmonic octatonic and lowering the second and the fourth degree by the L-M chroma leads to the mode MLMLsLML. We can see that LMLsLMLM and MLMLsLML are modes of the same scale. We call these modes the dark major diminished and the middle major diminished respectively. | |||
In the Pinetone chromatic with sharps, which contains the Pinetone major-harmonic octatonic as the naturals plus G♯, the Ultharian dark major mode can be expressed as D E F G G♯ A B C. The Pinetone diminished mode on D, the dark major diminished, is therefore D E F G G♯ A♯ B C♯. In the Pinetone chromatic with flats, which contains the Pinetone minor-harmonic octatonic as the naturals plus A♭, the Mnarian middle major mode can be expressed as D E F G A♭ A B C. The Pinetone diminished mode on D, the middle major diminished, is therefore D E♭ F G♭ A♭ A B C. | |||
We know that this scale tempers to Porcupine[8]; tempering M=s instead leads to LsLsLsLs, i.e., Diminished[8]; and finally tempering L=s leads to LsLLLsLs, a MODMOS of Father[8]. Like the Pinetone chromatic and diatonic scale, this scale is an SN scale, and is therefor achiral. We may name this scale perhaps the Porcupine-Diminished scale, or we may include it in Pinetone as the Pinetone diminished scale, or the Pinetone diminished octatonic | |||
Every other step of any mode of the Pinetone diminished scale gives an inversion of the 5-limit diminished tetrad; therefore every second step of the Pinetone diminished scales only comes in two different sizes, as opposed to the four different sizes of every second step of the Pinetone harmonic octatonics. Although the Pinetone diminished is simpler in this way, the Pinetone major and minor-harmonic octatonic provides more major and minor triads respectively (this is why I have named them the Pinetone major and minor-harmonic octatonics). | |||
