A '''hexany''' is a 6-note [[scale]] built using all the possible combinations of 2 [[interval]]s from a given set of 4 intervals. It is the simplest case of a [[combination product set]].

A '''hexany''' is a 6-note [[scale]] built using all the possible combinations of 2 [[interval]]s from a given set of 4 intervals. It is the simplest non-trivial case of a [[combination product set]].

A '''stellated hexany''' is a 14-tone scale and is also called a '''dekatesserany'''.

== Example ==

Here is a step-by-step construction of the canonical 1-3-5-7 hexany (i.e. using [[1/1]], [[3/1]], [[5/1]], and [[7/1]] with the smallest product as the root):

# Multiply together each pair of intervals (to find the combinations):<br>{1 × 3, 1 × 5, 1 × 7, 3 × 5, 3 × 7, 5 × 7}<br> = {3, 5, 7, 15, 21, 35};

Line 11:

# Sort the elements in ascending order:<br>{1/1, 7/6, 5/4, 35/24, 5/3, 7/4};

# Replace the unison (1/1) by the octave ([[2/1]]) for a Scala-compatible octave-repeating scale:<br>{7/6, 5/4, 35/24, 5/3, 7/4, 2/1}.
