When using the scale on an isomorphic keyboard such as the [[Lumatone]] or [[Scale Workshop]], it is recommended to have one axis ascend by 1 step at a time, and the other axis ascend by 5 steps at a time. | When using the scale on an isomorphic keyboard such as the [[Lumatone]] or [[Scale Workshop]], it is recommended to have one axis ascend by 1 step at a time, and the other axis ascend by 5 steps at a time. | ||

Alternatively, another way Lambeth recommends to use this scale is to forget about vertical harmony and to instead focus on writing interweaving melodic lines that each sound good on their own, and they will just naturally generate consonant harmonies. (Similar to late medieval/early Renaissance harmony.) | Alternatively, another way Lambeth recommends to use this scale is to forget about vertical harmony and to instead focus on writing interweaving melodic lines that each sound good on their own, and they will just naturally generate consonant harmonies.

=== Combining with other scales === | |||
You can have one instrument tuned to the moon dust scale, and another instrument tuned to any other over-7 primodal scale, and have them play simultaneously. | |||
