Porcusmine can be tuned as a [[5-limit]] JI scale or a tempered version thereof, where L represents [[10/9]], M represents [[27/25]], and s represents [[25/24]].

"Porcusmine" is a name given by [[User:CellularAutomaton|cellularAutomaton]], who discovered it as a detempering of porcupine, although the scale has also been [[Kite_Guitar_Translations_by_Kite_Giedraitis#Couples_Therapy_.28Jacob_Barton.2C_microtonal.29|discussed]] by [[Kite Giedraitis]] and possibly others. The name is a portmanteau of "porcupine" and "smitonic", since its step sizes are intermediate between those of the 8-note porcupine and 7-note smitonic mosses.

It was also later called the [[The Pinetone System#Pinetone diminished octatonic|Pinetone diminished octatonic]] when independently discovered by [[User:Lhearne|Lhearne]]. Similar Porcupine[8] detemperings have also been [[Kite_Guitar_Translations_by_Kite_Giedraitis#Couples_Therapy_.28Jacob_Barton.2C_microtonal.29|discussed]] by [[Kite Giedraitis]] as well as by [[User:Lhearne|Lhearne]].
