Star is an eight-note tempered scale, with something of the sound of the [[Octatonic_scale|octatonic scale]]; however it is less regular and closer to just intonation. Star can be reached from various starting points, one of which is a 5-limit [[Fokker_blocks|Fokker block]] which serves as a [[Transversal|transversal]] for Star. The block in question is [[smithgw_star|smithgw_star]], 25/24-6/5-5/4-36/25-3/2-5/3-9/5-2/1, which consists of a chain of minor thirds 5/3-1-6/5-36/25 and that chain translated by 5/4, and which has three major and three minor triads. | Star is an eight-note tempered scale, with something of the sound of the [[Octatonic_scale|octatonic scale]]; however it is less regular and closer to just intonation.
