Concoctic scale (name proposed by Eliora) is a maximum eveness scale which has the same number of notes as its MOS generator.
Concoctic scale (name proposed by Eliora) is a [[Maximal evenness|maximum eveness]] scale which has the same number of notes as its MOS generator.


12edo 5L2s diatonic scale, the predominantly used scale in the world today, is an example of such a scale.

The sequence of EDOs which have concoctic scales of any kind appears to be [[oeis:A172019|A172019]].
The sequence of EDOs which have concoctic scales of any kind appears to be [[oeis:A172019|A172019]]. This implies that in order for an EDO to have a concoctic scale, it's number of coprime distinct generators must be divisible by 4. The reason for this is yet to be investigated.
 
The sequence has the asymptotic density 1, meaning that as EDOs grow increasingly large, they are significantly more likely to have a concoctic scale than not to.
