A **generator** or **generating interval** is an interval which is stacked repeatedly on top of itself to form a scale, an EDO, or part or whole of a tempered structure. The resulting chain of stacked generators is often called a **generator chain**. Although they may seem somewhat abstract at first, generator chains are fairly simple to understand, and are important in developing an intuitive understanding of regular temperament theory.
