Modal harmony

Main article: Smitonic

The seven modes are, from brightest to darkest:

Nerevarine mode	LLSLSLS
Vivecan mode	LSLLSLS
Lorkhanic mode	LSLSLLS
Sothic mode	LSLSLSL
Kagrenacan mode	SLLSLSL
Almalexian mode	SLSLLSL
Dagothic mode	SLSLSLL

Modally, the highest to lowest entropy scale degrees (unison = 1) are:

• 2 and 7 (equally): .99 bits
• 4 and 5 (equally): .86 bits
• 3 and 6 (equally): .59 bits

If a scale degree is high entropy it tends to be the most informative on average; the modes that have this interval as major and minor respectively are roughly a 50-50 split. This tells us that unlike in the diatonic scale, thirds and sixths are the least informative in distinguishing smitonic modes. On the other hand, seconds, fourths and sevenths are highly informative.

• consonances: major 2nd, minor 3rd, sharp fourth, the minor seventh
• dissonances: minor 2nd, major 3nd, flat fifth, minor 6th, major seventh

Modal harmony

MODMOSes and chroma modification become more important. Use MODMOSes with SS = diminished mos3rd = 266.67¢. For example, rotations of LLSSLLS, LLLSSLS, or LLLSLSS, or turning an SL to dA or an LS to an Ad (for example, dASLSLL from SLSLSLL)

Chords

• Try piling up fourths or fifths. Flat fifths can resolve down to a more consonant superfourth.
