The structure whereby 5/3 is split into two supermajor thirds is obviously xenharmonic as this cannot occur in [[12edo]]. But particularly, as the simplest [[EDO]]s with similar structures are [[8edo]] and [[11edo]] (whence the 8-note ([[3L 5s]], checkertonic) and 11-note ([[8L 3s]], flanatonic) [[MOS scale]]s), sensi has a very xenmelodic character compared to many other ways of organizing the 7-limit (such as [[superpyth]], which is based on the familiar [[chain of fifths]], and even [[porcupine]], which is fundamentally heptatonic).

Equal temperaments that support sensi include [[19edo]] (generator 7\19; [[soft]] checkertonic), [[27edo]] (generator 10\27; [[supersoft]] checkertonic), as well as [[46edo]] (generator 17\46; {{nowrap| L/s {{=}} 7/5 }}), and [[65edo]] (generator 24\65; {{nowrap| L/s {{=}} 10/7 }}), more optimized for sensi temperament.
