m Summary for xen-math nerds: added description of the other heptatonic subsets of the pinetone chromatic

For the accompanying mapping for the Lumatone keyboard the G♯ / A♭ key is coloured pink (and the remaining chromatic keys blue), and along with the white keys makes a [[Porcupine]][8] / [[Father]][8] [[Fokker block]] (any colours could be chosen instead of white, pink, and blue).

The Pinetone diatonic is a [[wakalix]] (pairwise well-formed scale) and a [[step-nested scale]]: A detempering of [[Meantone]][7] and [[Porcupine]][7], (and also of [[Dicot]][7]), a [[Fokker block]] with [[Unison vector|unison vectors]] of [[81/80]] and [[250/243]] (and [[25/24]]) comprising 1 large step of 9/8 (''L'' x ''L''), 3 medium steps of 10/9 (''L'' x ''s''), and 3 small steps of 27/25 (''s'' x ''s'').

The Azurian bright minor, Duradian dark minor, Karakalian bright minor, Phyradian dark minor are alternative heptatonic subsets of the Pinetone chromatic — Fokker blocks of the same unison vectors and step sizes as the Pinetone diatonic arranged in different patterns, corresponding to product words of different combinations of modes of Porcupine[7] and Meantone[7]. Unlike the Pinetone diatonic, these scales are not also Fokker blocks of Dicot[7] with Porcupine[7] or Meantone[7].


The Pinetone major and minor-harmonic octatonics are the 8-note rank-3 [[Porcupine]][8] x [[Father]][8] [[Fokker block|Fokker blocks]] with [[Unison vector|unison vectors]] of 250/243, 16/15, and 648/625; comprising 4 large steps of 10/9 (''L'' x ''L''), 3 medium steps of 27/25 (''L'' x ''s''), and one small step of 25/24 (''s'' x ''L'').
