Original Wikitext content:
Star is an eight-note tempered scale, with something of the sound of the [[octatonic scale]]; however it is less regular and closer to just intonation. Star can be reached from various starting points, one of which are some 5-limit [[Fokker blocks]] which serve as [[transversal|transversals]] for star. The blocks [[smithgw_star]] and [[smithgw_star2]] can both serve as transversals; the first, 25/24-6/5-5/4-36/25-3/2-5/3-9/5-2/1, consists of a chain of minor thirds 5/3-1-6/5-36/35 and that chain translated by 5/4; the second, 27/25-6/5-5/4-36/25-3/2-5/3-9/5-2/1, is the same chain and its translation by 3/2. Both scales by the manner of their construction have six major and six minor triads.
