The 5L 2s MOS has multiple well-known [[MODMOS]]es, with at least five of these having names of their own.

The 5L 2s MOS has multiple well-known [[MODMOS]]es, with at least five of these having names of their own. For the sake of ease, "A"- meaning "augmented"- refers to a step that is larger than the MOS's normal "L" step by a single chroma.

== LsLLLLs ==

~~This~~ MODMOS is known as ~~the~~ '''melodic scale''', ~~with its default mode~~ being known as "~~melodic~~ minor".

The '''LsLLLLs''' MODMOS is referred to here as the '''Melodic Scale'''. While it is perhaps better known by other names such as "'''melodic minor'''" and "'''jazz minor'''" after this scale's default mode, there is another mode of this scale that can be called "melodic major" and "jazz major". The [[3-limit]] version of this MODMOS only differs from 3-limit Dorian by means of having [[256/243]] as a major seventh. Because of it being well known, this MODMOS has multiple [[MODmuddles]] derived from it.

== LsLLsAs ==

The '''LsLLsAs''' MODMOS is known as the '''Harmonic Minor Scale'''. The [[3-limit]] version of this MODMOS differs from 3-limit Aeolian by means of having [[256/243]] as a major seventh, and thus, having [[19683/16384]] as the augmented second step. Because of it being well known, this MODMOS has multiple [[MODmuddles]] derived from it.

== LLsLsAs ==

The '''LLsLsAs''' MODMOS is known as the '''Harmonic Major Scale'''. The [[3-limit]] version of this MODMOS differs from 3-limit Ionian by means of having [[128/81]] as a minor sixth, and thus, having [[19683/16384]] as the augmented second step. Because of it being at least somewhat well known, this MODMOS has multiple [[MODmuddles]] derived from it.

== sLLLLLs ==

The '''sLLLLLs''' MODMOS is referred to here as the '''Greater Neapolitan Scale'''. While it is perhaps better known as "'''Neapolitan major'''", this terminology can be considered confusing on account of the scale's third degree technically being a minor third. The [[3-limit]] version of this MODMOS differs from the 3-limit Melodic Scale by means of having [[256/243]] as a minor second. Because of it being at least somewhat well known, this MODMOS has multiple [[MODmuddles]] derived from it.
