Maybe you have a Lumatone, and you're wondering, ok so you can either have sharps or flats? Por queno los dos? | |||
The resulting scales don't have nice properties like the others, but it's helpful to have both sharps and flats. The concept is simple. We add the porcutone pentatonics both on G♭, and on F♯, resulting in a 17-note scale containing both the right and left handed porcutone octatonics. | |||
The resulting step pattern of the scales is s(L-s)sLs(L-s)sm(L-m)ms(L-s)sLs(L-s)s. Note there are 5 different step sizes. | |||
We might want to add in another two notes for E♯ or F♭ and B♯ or C♭. We'll call L-s 'D' (for large diminished) and L-m 'd' (for small diminished), resulting in 19-note scales with 4 step sizes: | |||
sDsDssDsmdmsDsDssDs with F♭ and C♭, or sDssDsDsmdmsDssDsDs with E♯ and B♯, or sDsDssDsmdmsDssDsDs with E♯ and C♭. D is the largest step, at 111.924c, followed by d at 76.009c, then by m (66.766c) and s (30.852c). | |||
We will call these scales the left handed, right handed, and symmetric porcutone hyperchromatic scales respectively. | |||
