In 19edo, Godzilla[9] has steps 3 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1, and contains the following useful scales as subsets:

* Meantone ~~pentatonic~~ (5 3 5 3 3)

* Meantone pentic (5 3 5 3 3)

* Altered diatonic I (3 4 3 1 3 4 1)

* Altered diatonic II (3 4 3 1 4 3 1)

Line 166:

* Altered diatonic IV (3 3 4 1 3 4 1)

It does not, however, contain the ordinary diatonic scale. Godzilla[9] thus expands on the ~~pentatonic~~ scale, but in a different way than diatonic scales do.

It does not, however, contain the ordinary diatonic scale. Godzilla[9] thus expands on the pentic scale, but in a different way than diatonic scales do.

The four heptatonic subsets can be regarded as chromatic alterations of the diatonic scale, or alternatively as variants of Archytas' septimal diatonic scale, but with a greatly exaggerated difference between the two different whole tone sizes. All five of these subsets are very expressive melodically. Godzilla[9] combines all of these and is expressive in its own right; it could even be thought of as 19edo's answer to the well-loved ~~supra~~[7] diatonic scale of [[~~17edo|~~17edo]], as both are improper and made up of whole-tones and third-tones.

Like ~~supra~~[7], ~~godzilla~~[9] is well stocked with subminor and supermajor triads; in this case they can be viewed as 6:7:9 and 10:13:15 since 19edo is a [[~~The_Biosphere~~|biome]] temperament. Godzilla[9] has only ''one'' each of the more stable 5-limit major and minor triads, which might be considered a drawback, but could also be considered a strength for helping to establish a clearer tonal center (since all triads other than the tonic have tension in them).
