Parasoft smitonic tunings have both minor fifths and major fifths about equally off a just perfect fifth, and they approximate diatonic structure and 5-limit harmony fairly well otherwise. For this reason, parasoft might be the most accessible smitonic tuning range. | Parasoft smitonic tunings have both minor fifths and major fifths about equally off a just perfect fifth, and they approximate diatonic structure and 5-limit harmony fairly well otherwise.

* 18edo can be used to make large and small steps more distinct (the step ratio is 3/2, thus 18edo smitonic is distorted [[19edo]] diatonic), or for its nearly pure 9/8. It also makes rising fifths (733.3c, a perfect mossixth) and falling fifths (666.7c, a major mosfifth) almost equally off from a just perfect fifth. 18edo is also more suited for conventionally jazz styles due to its 6-fold symmetry. | * 18edo can be used to make large and small steps more distinct (the step ratio is 3/2, thus 18edo smitonic is distorted [[19edo]] diatonic), or for its nearly pure 9/8.
