A cube scale is a 7-limit scale (we might also consider the 9 odd limit) whose notes are derived from a cube in the [[The Seven Limit Symmetrical Lattices|7-limit lattice of chords]]. For odd n, we will call the octave-reduced set of notes deriving from all chords of the form [i, j, k], (1-n)/2 <= i, j, k <= (n-1)/2, Cube(n). If n is even, we will use Cube(n) to refer to the notes of [i, j, k] with (2-n)/2 <= i, j, k < n/2. If n is odd, Cube(n) has (n+1)^3/2 notes to it; if n is even, its growth is more complicated but still approximately cubic. There are however two types of chord cubes for each n; for even n, we define the alternative cube Alt(n) via -n/2 <= i, j, k <= (n-2)/2, and for odd n, Alt(n) (1-n)/2 <= i+1, j, k <= (n-1)/2. | A cube scale is a 7-limit scale (we might also consider the 9 odd limit) whose notes are derived from a cube in the [[The Seven Limit Symmetrical Lattices|7-limit lattice of chords]].
