~~The~~ ''octatonic scale'' is ~~Diminished[8], the~~ 8-note ~~MOS of [[Jubilismic_clan|diminished temperament]]. In [[12edo|12edo]], this is the scale of alternating whole and half steps, 21212121; in~~ [[~~44edo|44edo]], it would be 83838383. It is used in both classical and jazz music; in jazz theory, often being called the diminished scale. Due to the even number of tones they have, the diminished~~ scale ~~and its fellow octatonic MOS are better served by reversing the roles of fifths and sixths, creating these [[Pseudo-traditional_harmonic_functions_of_octatonic_scale_degrees|regular triads~~]].

An '''octatonic scale''' is any 8-note [[scale]].

The '''octatonic scale''' may also refer to Diminished[8], the [[4L 4s]] Multi-[[MOS scale]] of the [[Jubilismic clan#Diminished|diminished temperament]]. In [[12edo]], this is the scale of alternating half and whole steps (1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2), but it can also be realized in other tuning such as [[44edo]] (3 8 3 8 3 8 3 8). It is used in both classical and jazz music; in jazz theory, it is usually called the '''diminished scale'''. Due to the even number of tones they have, these octatonic scales are better served by reversing the roles of fifths and sixths, creating many regular triads.
