~~=== MODMOSes ===~~

The most important oneirotonic MODMOS is LSLLLSLS (and its rotations), because it allows one to evoke abovetonic diatonic modes where three whole steps in a row are important (Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian or Mixo) in an octatonic context. A similar logic holds for belowtonic versions of other modes.

* LLLSLSLS: Dylathian &4: Ana-Lydian

* LLSLSLSL: Ilarnekian @8: Ana-Mixolydian

* LSLLLSLS: Celephaïsian &6: Ana-Dorian

* SLLLSLSL: Ultharian @2: Ana-Phrygian

* SLSLSLLL: Sarnathian @6: Kata-Locrian

* SLSLLLSL: Sarnathian &6: Kata-Dorian

* LSLSLLLS: Mnarian &8: Kata-Ionian

* LSLSLSLL: Hlanithian &2: Kata-Aeolian

~~Other potentially interesting oneirotonic MODMOSes (that do not use half-sharps or half-flats) are:~~

* the distorted harmonic minor LSLSLLSAS (A = aug 2nd = L + chroma)

* the distorted Freygish SASLSLLS

== Pseudo-diatonic theory ==

Oneirotonic is often used as distorted diatonic. Because distorted diatonic modal harmony and functional harmony both benefit from a recognizable major third, the following theory essentially assumes an [[A-Team]] tuning, i.e. an oneirotonic tuning with generator between 5\13 and 7\18 (or possibly an approximation of such a tuning, such as a [[neji]]). One should experiment and see how well these ideas work in other oneirotonic tunings.
