Another way of expanding out a hexany is by taking two copies of the same hexany and offsetting them by some other interval. This is particularly useful because the resulting 12 note scale can be mapped onto a standard keyboard with no missed or repeated notes, giving you as many harmonic options as possible without having to buy a custom instrument to play the scale properly. For example, two 1-3-5-9 hexanies separated by a 7/5 would produce a scale of: <br>{1 21/20 9/8 7/6 5/4 21/16 7/5 3/2 63/40 7/4 15/8 2/1} | |||
