Pinetone: Difference between revisions

Line 1,857:

We know that this scale tempers to Porcupine[8]; tempering M=s instead leads to LsLsLsLs, i.e., Diminished[8]; and finally tempering L=s leads to LsLLLsLs, a mod of Father[8]. Like the Pinetone chromatic and diatonic scale, this scale is an SN scale, and is therefor achiral. We may name this scale perhaps the Porcupine-Diminished scale, or we may include it in the Pinetone system as the Pinetone diminished scale, or the Pinetone diminished octatonic

Every other step of any mode of the Pinetone diminished scale gives an inversion of the 5-limit diminished tetrad; therefore every second step of the Pinetone ~~Diminished~~ scales only comes in two different sizes, as opposed to the four different sizes of every second step of the Pinetone harmonic octatonics. Although the Pinetone diminished is simpler in this way, the Pinetone major and minor-harmonic octatonic provides more major and minor triads respectively (this is why I have named them the Pinetone major and minor-harmonic octatonics).

Every other step of any mode of the Pinetone diminished scale gives an inversion of the 5-limit diminished tetrad; therefore every second step of the Pinetone diminished scales only comes in two different sizes, as opposed to the four different sizes of every second step of the Pinetone harmonic octatonics.
