'''Naive scale''' is a replication of a specific scale, usually MOS, through applying accidentals to an equitonic scale in a composite EDO.

'''Naive scale''' is a replication of a specific scale, usually MOS, through applying accidentals to an [[equitonic scale]] in a [[composite EDO]].

Despite not being "in tune" or adhering to JI approximations, naive scales can sound just as effective as their progenitors due to perception of melody contour.

=== Diatonic scales in 7N-edos ===

Major and minor scales can be replicated in ~~edos~~ divisible by 7 through raising or lowering the III, VI, and VII degrees of the equal 7-tone scale respectively.

Major and minor scales can be replicated in [[edo]]s divisible by 7 through raising or lowering the III, VI, and VII degrees of the [[7edo|equal 7-tone scale]] respectively.

For example, [[28edo]] has a minor third that is 7 steps wide and 1\7 of the octave is 4 steps wide. This means that the minor third is 1 step below 2 equiheptatonic steps, and therefore 1 step is the amount by which the degrees should be lowered. This produces a 0-4-9-12-16-21-25-28, or 4534543 scale. Likewise, minor scale is rendered through 0-4-7-12-16-19-23-28, or 4354345.

For example, [[28edo]] has a [[minor third]] that is 7 steps wide and 1\7 of the [[octave]] is 4 steps wide. This means that the minor third is 1 step below 2 [[equiheptatonic]] steps, and therefore 1 step is the amount by which the degrees should be lowered. This produces a 0-4-9-12-16-21-25-28, or 4534543 scale. Likewise, minor scale is rendered through 0-4-7-12-16-19-23-28, or 4354345.

Such a scale is also similar to [[zarlino]].

=== Dodecaphony and 12N-edos ===

In EDOs that are a multiple of 12, naive scales are a form of xenharmonically modified dodecaphony, which in 12edo means using all 12 notes of the temperament without favouring a particular note, key, or scale.

In EDOs that are a multiple of 12, naive scales are a form of [[xenharmonic|xenharmonically]] modified dodecaphony, which in [[12edo]] means using all 12 notes of the temperament without favouring a particular note, key, or scale.
