By varying the undertone series step size to some rational number (other than 1) you can produce a US, and varying it to an irrational number you can produce an ALS. In other words, by shifting the undertone series by a constant amount of string length, the step sizes remain equal in terms of length, but their relationship in pitch changes.
By varying the undertone series step size to some number other than 1, if that number is irrational you can produce an ALS, and if rational you can produce a US (which you could also call an ALS if you really wanted to). In other words, by shifting the undertone series by a constant amount of string length, the step sizes remain equal in terms of length, but their relationship in pitch changes.
