[[Bryan Deister]] has used a layout for [[52edo]] in which the generator is 9\52, as ~[[9/8]] but mapped by direct approximation rather than as the version mapped by the patent val or by the 52b val, which means that it has to be constituted as {{nowrap|(3♭ × 3♯) / 8}} to make use of the dual-fifth feature of 52edo. Two of these map to a ~[[14/11]] major third, as in [[Pentacircle clan|~~Pentacircle~~]] but for the direct approximation mapping of ~9/8. The upward generator is ~[[16/15]]. Octaves slant down and then wrap around, but the compass is 5 full octaves, with no missed notes, which is competitive with the Diatonic and Neutral Thirds layouts. This layout is demonstrated in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lNJCZz7EjL0 ''microtonal improvisation in 52edo''] (2025); in the video, some notes are cut off at the right edge due to the use of only 2 MIDI channels.

In addition, this mapping makes a [[4L 4s]] scale with 9:4 step ratio easily accessible (barring a vertical wraparound), and 52edo tempers out the greater diesis [[648/625]], making this also a [[Diminished_(temperament)|diminished]] mapping. Octaves slant down and then wrap around, but the compass is 5 full octaves, with no missed notes, which is competitive with the Diatonic and Neutral Thirds layouts.
