A17Forkybest303 35edo shower detemper

"35edo detemper using some weird idea i thought in the shower. its kind of a compromise between what i did with 23L 12s, 27L 8s and 79L 19s <7/1> mosses i did. this is just 35L 7s with the small steps coalesced to their average."

FilterNashi thujo Hirajoshi scales

i found a scale tempered 352/351 suspiciously similar to Hirajoshi which is 9/8 11/9 3/2 13/8 2/1 and 352/351 tempered it's even better approximation than 1-9/8-6/5-3/2-8/5-2/1 known as Hirajoshi Just in the preset scale of ScaleWorkshop. i found a 6-note scale first and it's subset of retrovert is suspiciously similar to Hirajoshi the scale itself is 1-12/11-32/27-4/3-18/11-16/9-2, 352/351 tempered. so the scale i found was quite interesting because its a seven-note scale with every interval within 13-odd-limit (rank3)

Scale found in Thulo, which tempered 352/351 in the 2.3.11.13 subgroup TE tuning:

Doubled wisp

In December 2025, Gutierrez made this variation of the wisp scale by duplicating the chord made from the first 4 notes of the wisp scale, offset by 30 cents, until it fills the octave. She described it as 'adding shimmers and some more familiar intervals' and having a "very mysterious sound".

Generator sequence 7/6, 9/8, 8/7 (4/1 period)

Gutierrez described this scale in December 2025: "the 2 octaves have similar notes (with the semiflat 4 or 11 existing in both) so it can be fun to play the same melody in both octaves for a shimmery sound which works well with bell-like timbres, but the second octave also allows chord extentions like subminor maj9 or susd4maj13"

Slendric plural octave

using a period of 7/4 on slendric generator sequence gives you alot of near-octaves so each octave is a different mode of the same scale
