'''Quasipelog theory''' is a theoretical framework for approaching [[16edo]] (16-tone equal temperament), or any other edo that supports 2.3.5.11 [[mavila]] (e.g. [[23edo]], [[30edo]], [[39edo]]).

Quasipelog theory was developed by [[Budjarn Lambeth]] begininning in 2025.  
It is heavily inspired by Javanese, Balinese and Sundanese [[gamelan]] music theory; by the [[Armodue (theory)|Armodue school]] of music theory; and by [[Erv Wilson]]'s discovery and descriptions of [[MOS scale]]s.

Quasipelog theory was developed by [[Budjarn Lambeth]] beginning in December 2025, due to 16edo leading in the XA [[Monthly Tunings]] poll for January.

If you removed its second and fourth degrees, duplicated its sixth degree, and flattened one of the duplicated sixths by two QPC steps, the result would be "altered QPH 1,3,5,6-2,6,7".
