The most common consonant triad in sensi is the 6:10:13 triad, which spans 3 generators. Sensi[8] has five 6:10:13 triads, four 7:9:13 triads, three 5:6:7:9 tetrads and one 5:6:7:9:13 pentad. Having many diminished triads and consonant chords without roots (fundamentals), it ~~has a dramatic, restless flair~~. Sensi is interesting mainly because it gives new 13-limit interpretations to fairly familiar (in the sense of extended meantone-like) intervals.

Having many diminished triads and consonant chords without roots (fundamentals), it is similar to the 12edo diminished scale in some ways. Sensi is interesting mainly because it gives new 13-limit interpretations to fairly familiar (in the sense of extended meantone-like) intervals.

Melodically, sensi[8] sounds fairly familiar because many intervals are either 5-limit or have familiar categorical interpretations, being represented in the meantone tuning [[19edo]]. For example, the small step of about 130 cents categorizes pretty well as a large semitone (except at places in the scale where two of them make a flat subminor third); the large step is a small whole tone representing 10/9.
