This is an imported revision from Wikispaces. The revision metadata is included below for reference:

This revision was by author Ninly and made on 2012-12-21 19:22:06 UTC.
The original revision id was 394232760.
The revision comment was: Added modal UDP notation to table of modes

The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

=3L 4s - "mosh"= 

MOS scales of this form are built from a generator that falls between 1\3 (one degree of [[3edo]] - 400 cents) and 2\7 (two degrees of [[7edo]] - 343 cents.

It has the form s L s L s L s and its various "modes" (with nicknames coined by [[Andrew Heathwaite]]) are:

|| **Mode** || **UDP** || **Nickname** ||
|| s L s L s L s || 3|3 || bish ||
|| L s L s L s s || 6|0 || dril ||
|| s L s L s s L || 2|4 || fish ||
|| L s L s s L s || 5|1 || gil ||
|| s L s s L s L || 1|5 || jwl ||
|| L s s L s L s || 4|2 || kleeth ||
|| s s L s L s L || 0|6 || led ||
The two notable harmonic entropy minima with this pattern are neutral third scales ("dicot" / "hemififth" / "mohajira") where two generators make a 3/2, and [[Magic family|magic]], where the generator is a 5/4 but five of them make a 3/1.

3\10 on this chart represents a dividing line between "neutral third scales" on the bottom (eg. [[17edo neutral scale]]), and something else I don't have a name for yet on the top, with [[10edo]] standing in between. (What do you call this region, dear reader?) Of course, magic is in the top half, but it's a pretty specific scale and doesn't describe the whole range. MOS-wise, the neutral third scales, after three more generations, make MOS [[7L 3s]] ("unfair mosh"); the other scales make MOS [[3L 7s]] ("fair mosh").

In "neutral third scale territory," the generators are all "neutral thirds," and two of them make an approximation of the "perfect fifth." Additionally, the L of the scale is somewhere around a "whole tone" and the s of the scale is somewhere around a "neutral tone".

In the as-yet unnamed northern territory, the generators are major thirds (including some very flat ones), and two generators are definitely sharp of a perfect fifth. L ranges from a "supermajor second" to a "major third" and s is a "semitone" or smaller.

3\10 on this chart represents a dividing line between &quot;neutral third scales&quot; on the bottom (eg. <a class="wiki_link" href="/17edo%20neutral%20scale">17edo neutral scale</a>), and something else I don't have a name for yet on the top, with <a class="wiki_link" href="/10edo">10edo</a> standing in between. (What do you call this region, dear reader?) Of course, magic is in the top half, but it's a pretty specific scale and doesn't describe the whole range. MOS-wise, the neutral third scales, after three more generations, make MOS <a class="wiki_link" href="/7L%203s">7L 3s</a> (&quot;unfair mosh&quot;); the other scales make MOS <a class="wiki_link" href="/3L%207s">3L 7s</a> (&quot;fair mosh&quot;).<br />
<br />
In &quot;neutral third scale territory,&quot; the generators are all &quot;neutral thirds,&quot; and two of them make an approximation of the &quot;perfect fifth.&quot; Additionally, the L of the scale is somewhere around a &quot;whole tone&quot; and the s of the scale is somewhere around a &quot;neutral tone&quot;.<br />
<br />
In the as-yet unnamed northern territory, the generators are major thirds (including some very flat ones), and two generators are definitely sharp of a perfect fifth. L ranges from a &quot;supermajor second&quot; to a &quot;major third&quot; and s is a &quot;semitone&quot; or smaller.</body></html>
