One system for naming MOSes, [[TAMNAMS]], uses the name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this pattern. The name is derived from 'sharp minor third', since the central range of the spectrum, 4\15 = 320¢ to 7\18 = 333.33¢, has minor third generators that are significantly sharp of 6/5. | One system for naming MOSes, [[TAMNAMS]], uses the name '''smitonic''' ''smy-TON-ik'' /smaɪˈtɒnɪk/ for this pattern.
