Pattern 1 turns up for commas of the form (''n''<sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup>''n''<sub>2</sub>)/(''d''<sub>1</sub><sup>2</sup>''d''<sub>2</sub>) up to [[octave equivalence]]. It contains a palindromic triad and an inversely related pair of triads, two palindromic tetrads and two inversely related pair of tetrads, and an inversely related pair of pentads, for a total of 11 distinct chord structures.

Pattern 1 has two subpatterns, 1a and 1b, both of whose basic palindromic triads are of the same form, but their final pentad extensions differ. The palindromic triad is

Examples of pattern 1b chords are [[lambeth chords]] (13-odd-limit) and [[sextantonismic chords]] (17-odd-limit).
Examples of pattern 1b chords are [[lambeth chords]] (13-odd-limit) and [[sextantonismic chords]] (17-odd-limit).
=== Defective ===
Defective pattern 1 is where some of these chords turn out essentially just. [[Ptolemismic chords]] are of this category, as it only has a palindromic triad, two pairs of inversely related tetrads, and a pair of inversely related pentads.
