==== Pentave ====
In a Mode '''2<sup>-2'''</sup> (=0.25) overtone scale the first interval above the fundamental is the [[pentave]] (5/1), which substitutes the octave (2/1), the first interval in the Mode 1 overtone scale. This fractional mode of the overtone scale contains no octaves. It contains only odd harmonics with a spacing of 4 (e.g. 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25).

==== Double octave ====
In a Mode'''''(1/3)''''' overtone scale the first interval above the fundamental is the [[4/1|double octave]] (4/1), sometimes called the ''tetrave''. It substitutes the octave (2/1), the first interval in the Mode 1 overtone scale.
This fractional mode of the overtone scale contains every second octave. Octaves with 1200 ¢, 3600 ¢,… are not present in this mode. It contains harmonics with a spacing of 3 (e.g. 4, 7, 10, 13, 16).
