In the first part of this discussion we’ll go over basic met-MOS behavior, deferring mathematical explanations until later. | In the first part of this discussion we’ll go over basic met-MOS behavior, deferring mathematical explanations until later. | ||

A natural topic to begin with is generators, since we need a generator before we can generate scales. | A natural topic to begin with is generators, since we need a generator before we can generate scales. | ||

The simplest ''metallic generator'' splits the period into two segments which are related by phi. Wilson named this generator “Fibonacci”, after the famous recurrence relation associated with phi, but for consistency here we’ll be calling this the ''golden generator''. | The simplest ''metallic generator'' splits the period into two segments which are related by phi.
