Much like | Much like [[5L 2s|5L 2s diatonic]], mavila is supported by several low-numbered EDOs, which will basically be the same size as the MOS's listed above. | ||
7-EDO can be thought of as a primitive tuning, yielding a totally equal heptatonic scale that is equally diatonic and anti-diatonic. | 7-EDO can be thought of as a primitive tuning, yielding a totally equal heptatonic scale that is equally diatonic and anti-diatonic. | ||

The next EDO supporting Mavila is 9-EDO, which can be thought of as the first mavila EDO (and the first EDO in general) differentiating between 4:5:6 major and 10:12:15 minor chords. This is fairly interesting, as there is no real equivalent in meantone terms. It is larger than the "diatonic" sized MOS, but smaller than the 16-tone "chromatic" MOS. It is best thought of as a "superdiatonic" scale. The fifth is 667 cents. | The next EDO supporting Mavila is 9-EDO, which can be thought of as the first mavila EDO (and the first EDO in general) differentiating between 4:5:6 major and 10:12:15 minor chords.

This can be thought of as the first EDO offering the potential for chromatic mavila harmony, similar to 12-EDO for meantone. This is also the usual setting for the aforementioned Armodue theory, although the Armodue theory can easily be extended to larger mavila scales such as mavila[23]. The fifth is 675 cents. | ||
The next EDO supporting mavila is 23-EDO, which is the second-most common tuning for mavila, used frequently by Igliashon Jones in his Cryptic Ruse albums. The fifth is 678 cents, and as a result the harmonic properties are slightly better than 16-EDO, although still fairly inharmonic compared to meantone. The anti-diatonic scale is more "quasi-equal" in this tuning than in 16-EDO. | The next EDO supporting mavila is 23-EDO, which is the second-most common tuning for mavila, used frequently by Igliashon Jones in his Cryptic Ruse albums.
