[[Bryan Deister]] has used a [[Porcupine]]-inspired layout for [[39edo]], as demonstrated in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLRaG_pBN7k&lc=UgwfjZwncsryQjeNUg14AaABAg.AHVkw8aNSEGAHZU_J2qOPM ''39edo jam''] (2025). To take advantage of the fact that 39edo is at the intersection of [[Augmented]] and [[Immunity]], the rightward generator is 5\39, half of a [[6/5]] minor third as [[12/11]] ~ [[11/10]] (but much closer to 12/11).  This enables a MODMOS derived from [[1L 6s]] by shrinking the large step from 9\39 to 8\39 and expanding one of the small steps from 5\39 to 6\39, to enable chords such as 12/11 (somewhat sharp, at 5\39) - 6/5 (slightly flat, at 10\39) - [[11/8]] (near-just, at 18\39) - [[3/2]] (mildly sharp, 23\39) - [[18/11]] (moderately sharp, at 28\39) - [[9/5]] (near-just, at 33\39). Playing this chord uses almost the same geometry of depressed keys as that for playing a diatonic scale in a diatonic mapping (but has a very different sound effect), save when proceeding to the next octave. The range is slightly over 6 octaves overall (which slant moderately downwards), but with the first and last octaves missing some notes due to clipping in the upper left and lower right corners of the layout.
