'''4L 3s''' refers to the structure of [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 1\4edo (one degree of [[4edo]], 300¢) to 2\7edo (two degrees of [[7edo]], or approx. 342.857¢). | '''4L 3s''' or '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ refers to the structure of [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 1\4edo (one degree of [[4edo]], 300¢) to 2\7edo (two degrees of [[7edo]], or approx. 342.857¢). ''Smitonic'' is derived from 'sharp minor third', since the central range of the spectrum, 4\15 = 320¢ to 7\18 = 333.33¢ have minor third generators that are significantly sharp of 6/5. | ||
4L 3s is a distorted diatonic, because it has one large step of diatonic (5L 2s, LLsLLLs) replaced with a small step (yielding LLsLsLs). | 4L 3s is a distorted diatonic, because it has one large step of diatonic (5L 2s, LLsLLLs) replaced with a small step (yielding LLsLsLs). | ||
