An '''octatonic ~~scale~~''' is ~~any~~ 8~~-note~~ [[~~scale~~]].

An '''octatonic''' scale is a [[scale]] with 8 tones per [[equave]].

The ~~'''~~octatonic scale~~''' may also refer~~ to Diminished[8], the [[4L 4s]] ~~Multi~~-[[~~MOS~~ scale]] of the [[~~Jubilismic clan#Diminished~~|diminished ~~temperament~~]]. In [[12edo]], this is the scale of alternating half and whole steps (1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2), but it can also be realized in other ~~tuning~~ such as [[44edo]] (3 8 3 8 3 8 3 8). It is used in both classical and jazz music; in jazz theory, it is usually called the '''diminished scale'''. Due to the even number of tones they have, ~~these~~ octatonic ~~scales are~~ better served by reversing the roles of fifths and sixths, creating many regular triads.

The octatonic scale often refers to Diminished[8], the [[4L 4s]] multi-[[mos scale]] of the [[diminished (temperament)|diminished]] temperament. In [[12edo]], this is the scale of alternating half and whole steps (1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2), but it can also be realized in other tunings such as [[44edo]] (3 8 3 8 3 8 3 8). It is used in both classical and jazz music; in jazz theory, it is usually called the '''diminished scale'''.
