5L 3s: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

'''5L 3s''' refers to the structure of octave-equivalent [[MOS]] scales with generators ranging from 2\5 (two degrees of [[5edo]] = 480¢) to 3\8 (three degrees of [[8edo]] = 450¢). In the case of 8edo, L and s are the same size; in the case of 5edo, s becomes so small it disappears (and all that remains are the five equal L's).

5L 3s is a distorted diatonic, because it has one extra small step compared to diatonic ([[5L 2s]]): for example, the Ionian diatonic mode LLsLLLs can be distorted to the Dylathian ~~oneirotonic~~ mode LLsLLsLs.

Any edo with an interval between 450¢ and 480¢ has a 5L 3s scale. [[13edo]] is the smallest edo with a (non-degenerate) 5L 3s ~~oneirotonic~~ scale and thus is the most commonly used 5L 3s tuning.

5L 3s has a pentatonic MOS subset [[3L 2s]] (SLSLL)~~, and in this context we call this the ''oneiro-pentatonic'' or oneiro[5]. When viewed as a chord (with undetermined voicing) we call it the Oneiro Core Pentad~~. (Note: [[3L 5s]] scales also have 3L 2s subsets.)

The [[TAMNAMS]] system uses the name '''oneirotonic''' (/oʊnaɪrəˈtɒnɪk/ ''oh-ny-rə-TON-ik'' or /ənaɪrə-/ ''ə-ny-rə-'') or 'oneiro' for short. The name ''oneirotonic'' (from Greek ''oneiros'' 'dream') was coined by [[Cryptic Ruse]] after the Dreamlands in H.P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle mythos.
