The kata modes of the MOS are the 4 darkest modes, namely Mnarian, Kadathian, Hlanithian and Sarnathian. In kata modes, the melodically squashed fifth from the tonic downwards is the flatter 5th degree. Kata modes could be used to distort diatonic tropes that start from the tonic and work downwards or work upwards towards the tonic from below it. For example: | ||
* Mnarian (LSLSLLSL) and Kadathian (SLLSLLSL) are kata-Mixolydians | * Mnarian (LSLSLLSL) and Kadathian (SLLSLLSL) are kata-Mixolydians | ||
* Hlanithian (SLLSLSLL) is a kata-melodic major (the 4th degree sounds like a major third; it's actually a perfect mosfourth.) | * Hlanithian (SLLSLSLL) is a kata-melodic major (the 4th degree sounds like a major third; it's actually a perfect mosfourth.) | ||
