When using the scale on an isomorphic keyboard such as the [[Lumatone]] or [[Scale Workshop]], it is recommended to have one axis ascend by 1 step at a time, and the other axis ascend by 3.
When using the scale on an isomorphic keyboard such as the [[Lumatone]] or [[Scale Workshop]], it is recommended to have one axis ascend by 1 step at a time, and the other axis ascend by 5 steps at a time.


It is recommended to set the base frequency (for the [[tonic]] note) to D2, that is 73.4162 Hz.
=== Frequency in Hz ===
Lambeth usually sets the frequency of the [[tonic]] note - note 0 of the scale - to F#2, that is 92.4986 Hz.
 
He recommends setting it anywhere between 75Hz and 120Hz, or anywhere between D2 and A#2.

; Over-9 semi-primodality
The moon dust scale can be used as an over-9 scale by simply replacing the 19/14 with a 49/36, and keeping all other intervals exactly the same.
As a chord this is:
* <small><small>72:88:98:108:162:171:198:252:288:324:396:432:648:684:792:1008:1152</small></small>
Which occurs above the [[tonic]] of [[144afdo|the 144th mode of the harmonic series]].
