Using this method, you arrive at new scales which contain the parent scale, plus a few extra notes. You can consider the extra notes "ornamental," secondary to the notes of the parent scale, or you can think of the whole scale as a brand new entity.

Often, the new scale will contain three step sizes, instead of the original two. So in addition to L & s, you'd have M. You can design your scale so that the three step sizes have interesting ratios to one another, if you like. I think it sounds nice when the step sizes don't add or multiply together to</pre></div>

Often, the new scale will contain three step sizes, instead of the original two. So in addition to L & s, you'd have M. You can design your scale so that the three step sizes have interesting ratios to one another, if you like. I think it sounds nice when the step sizes don't add or multiply together to make each other.

Sometimes this technique will produce a scale you might have gotten to another way -- like a classic MOS scale.

==Doubling/Tripling the edo==

If you want to use MOS Cradle to elaborate on a scale in a small edo, consider doubling or tripling, etc., the number of notes. Say you want to use the pentatonic scale in [[7edo]]:

1 2 1 2 1

You can't use L or s as a cradle here to get a new scale. But, if you double the number of pitches, going into the territory of [[14edo]], you get:

2 4 2 4 2

& this scale you can easily alter with MOS Cradle:

2 __**3 1**__ 2 __**3 1**__ 2

__**1 1**__ 4 __**1 1**__ 4 __**1 1**__

Now I think I've given enough examples for you to get started on your own! If you discover other neat properties of these scales, feel free to edit this page & add your findings. & when you design lovely new MOS Cradle Scales, do add them to the [[MOS Cradle Scales|repository]]!</pre></div>
