=== Modes with flat tritone ===

When working up from the tonic, the darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes. Because of the consonant 11/8 minor tritone and the 13/8 minor sixth, the flat tritone sounds more like a stable scale function.

The darker modes could be used to distort diatonic tropes that start from the tonic and work downwards, while the brighter modes such as Dylathian and Celephaisian play on upwards diatonic tropes. For example:

*Sarnathian works like downwards melodic minor (the 4th degree sounds like a minor third; it's actually a diminished fourth.)

*Hlanithain is like downwards melodic major. (the 4th degree sounds like a major third; it's acftually a minor fourth.)

When working up from the tonic, the darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes. Because of the consonant 11/8 minor tritone and the 13/8 minor sixth, the flat tritone sounds more like a stable scale function. [[34edo]] may be particularly useful for Sarnathian, as Sarnathian uniquely has four over-2 harmonics which 34edo approximates well, namely 17/16, 5/4, 11/8, and 13/8.
