The notation used in this article is LssLsLssLss = А҃В҃Г҃Д҃Е҃Ѕ҃З҃И҃Ѳ҃І҃Ѫ҃А҃, based on old Cyrillic numerals 1-10 using the titlo as a numeric sign, and the addition of the big yus (Ѫ) for 11. Chromas are represented by regular sharps and flats.

Thus the 15edo gamut is as follows:

=== Soft range ===
=== Soft range ===
The soft range for tunings of kleistonic encompasses parasoft and hyposoft tunings. This implies step ratios smaller than 2/1, meaning a generator sharper than 4\15 = 320¢.

This is the range associated with extensions of [[Orgone|Orgone[7]]]. The small step is recognizable as a near diatonic semitone, while the large step is in the ambiguous area of neutral seconds.

Hypohard tunings of kleistonic have step ratios between 2/1 and 3/1, implying a generator sharper than 5\19 = 315.79¢ and flatter than 4\15 = 320¢.

This range represents one of the harmonic entropy minimums, where 6 generators make a just diatonic fifth ([[3/2]]), an octave above. This is the range associated with the eponymous Kleismic (aka [[Hanson]]) temperament and its extensions.

The minor third is at its purest here, but the resulting scales tend to result in intervals that employ a much higher limit harmony, especially in the case of the superhard 23edo. However, the large step is recognizable as a regular diatonic whole step, approximating both 10/9 and 9/8, while the small step is a slightly sharp of a quarter tone.

The temperament known as Myna (a pun on "minor third") resides here, as this is the range where 10 generators make a just diatonic fifth (3/2), two octaves above.

These scales are stacked with simple intervals, but are melodically difficult due to the extreme step size disparity, where the small step is generally flat of a quarter tone.
