'''Diasem''' is a [[Maximum variety|max-variety-3]] [[MODMOS_Scales|MODMOS]] that is equivalent to semaphore[9] with two of the small steps made larger and the other two made smaller. This results in near-just septimal intervals and better melodic properties than the meantone scales of [[26edo]] and [[31edo]], which both support it. The scale can be generated by an alternating chain of subminor thirds and supermajor seconds. The name "diasem" is a portmanteau of "diatonic" and "semaphore" since it the way it tempers the [[64/63]] is intermediate between superpyth and semaphore; it is also a pun based on the [[diesis]], a defining step size in the scale. | '''Diasem''' is a [[Maximum variety|max-variety-3]] [[MODMOS_Scales|MODMOS]] that is equivalent to semaphore[9] with two of the small steps made larger and the other two made smaller.
