 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.
