There are seven diatonic modes of mohajira which are structured in an analogous way to the seven church modes of the major scale. They can be thought of as quarter tone altered modes in a 24 EDO setting, but also as microtonal altered scales in any equal temperament. While the Mohajira[7] MOS by itself is quite beautiful, the Modmos, Rast tends to be more expressive as it contain a few major and minor thirds allowing for more contrast. | There are seven diatonic modes of mohajira which are structured in an analogous way to the seven church modes of the major scale.

Because there are too many possible Mohajira Mos and Modmos, Kentaku has organized a way to think of the progression of accidentals in the modes of Mohajira. | Because there are too many possible Mohajira Mos and Modmos, Kentaku has organized a way to think of the progression of accidentals in the modes of Mohajira. | ||
The scales are organized based on evoking slightly different colors and categorized by different levels of alteration from a meantone scale. A Mos of Mohajira[10] can be used in order to improvise on all the common Modmos of mohajira. | The scales are organized based on evoking slightly different colors and categorized by different levels of alteration from a meantone scale.

The intervals of Mohajira and Neutral harmony work in an almost reverse manner from meantone. The most consonant is 3/2 and 4/3 followed by 11/6, 11/9 and 11/8. In context of a chord with a perfect fifth, 11/9's tend to produce a rather rough chord that sounds good in many context but is quite rough as a tonic chord. It can be good to think of the neutral seventh 11/6 and 3/2 as the base intervals of a chord with 11/8 and 4/3 acting almost in an analogous way to the major and minor third in meantone. This is why 11/8 can be called the major fourth in 24 ET. | |||
