In practice, such scales are often referred to as "[[MOSScales|MOS]]" scales, but this usage is technically incorrect because a MOS is defined to have **exactly** two specific intervals for each class other than multiples of the octave. When [[Erv Wilson]] discovered MOS scales and found numerous examples, DE scales that are not technically MOS such as [[pajara]], [[Augmented family|augmented]], [[diminished]], etc. were not among them.</pre></div> | In practice, such scales are often referred to as "[[MOSScales|MOS]]" scales, but this usage is technically incorrect because a MOS is defined to have **exactly** two specific intervals for each class other than multiples of the octave.
