'''''Cumulus Alpha''''' is a 5L6s [[MOS]] with [[7/4]] as the generator and [[2/1]] as the period.
'''''Cumulus Alpha''''' is a 5L6s [[MOS]] with [[7/4]] as the generator and [[2/1]] as the period. This appears to approximate a subset of [[26edo|26-EDO]]; it approximates the whole of 26-EDO when extended to a 5L21s MOS, which I dub '''''Cumulus Holo-Alpha'''''.

'''''Cumulus Beta''''' is an 4L5s MOS with [[7/6]] as the generator and [[2/1]] as the period. Amazingly, it approximates all intervals of [[9edo|9-EDO]] within a cent!
