The Redeye scale is a ternary scale proposed by Michael, Wad Wizard, and Unque. The scale is defined by the 14-note sequence sLmLsLmLsLmLsL; it has 7 large steps, 3 medium steps, and 4 small steps.
Name
The name "Redeye" comes from a portmanteau of "Red" and "Di-," from the names of the Redwood and Dicot temperaments, due to its extrema being generated by those two temperaments. This naming scheme was originally chosen by comparison to another ternary scale, Blackdye.
Scale Properties
The following Binary scales can be made by collapsing the Redeye scale:
| Pattern | Brightness Quotient | Rotational Order |
|---|---|---|
| sLmLsLmLsLmLsL | 4 | 1 |
| LmLsLmLsLmLsLs | 13 | 2 |
| mLsLmLsLmLsLsL | 7 | 3 |
| LsLmLsLmLsLsLm | 10 | 4 |
| sLmLsLmLsLsLmL | 3 | 5 |
| LmLsLmLsLsLmLs | 12 | 6 |
| mLsLmLsLsLmLsL | 6 | 7 |
| LsLmLsLsLmLsLm | 9 | 8 |
| sLmLsLsLmLsLmL | 2 | 9 |
| LmLsLsLmLsLmLs | 14 | 10 |
| mLsLsLmLsLmLsL | 5 | 11 |
| LsLsLmLsLmLsLm | 8 | 12 |
| sLsLmLsLmLsLmL | 1 | 13 |
| LsLmLsLmLsLmLs | 11 | 14 |
Sample Tuning Ranges
| L | m | s | Hardness | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1\14 | 1\14 | 1\14 | 1:1:1 | Collapsed: L=s |
| 2\24 | 2\24 | 1\24 | 2:2:1 | Collapsed: L=m |
| 4\45 | 3\45 | 2\45 | 4:3:2 | |
| 4\41 | 3\41 | 1\41 | 4:3:1 | |
| 2\21 | 1\21 | 1\21 | 2:1:1 | Collapsed: m=s |
| 3\31 | 2\31 | 1\31 | 3:2:1 | Basic |
| 4\38 | 2\38 | 1\38 | 4:2:1 | |
| 2\17 | 1\17 | 0 | 2:1:0 | Collapsed: s=0c |
Note that this is not a comprehensive list of all tunings that support the Redeye scale.
