3-5-9-15 hexany

A 5-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 9/8 5/4 3/2 9/5 2/1, (3/2 appears twice as the reduced products of 3x15 and 5x9) with steps of 9/8 10/9 6/5 6/5 10/9. This scale is a detempered version of the dominant ninth chord found on the fifth degree of the diatonic scale. As this is both more familiar in sound and has fewer compositional possibilities than most hexanies, this is not particularly interesting if you are looking to explore new sounds and only catalogued here for the sake of completeness.
