Modal harmony
The seven modes are, from brightest to darkest:
| Nerevarine mode | LLSLSLS |
| Vivecan mode | LSLLSLS |
| Lorkhanic mode | LSLSLLS |
| Sothic mode | LSLSLSL |
| Kagrenacan mode | SLLSLSL |
| Almalexian mode | SLSLLSL |
| Dagothic mode | SLSLSLL |
Modally, the highest to lowest entropy scale degrees (unison = 1) are:
- 2 and 7 (equally): .99 bits
- 4 and 5 (equally): .86 bits
- 3 and 6 (equally): .59 bits
If a scale degree is high entropy it tends to be the most informative on average; the modes that have this interval as major and minor respectively are roughly a 50-50 split. This tells us that unlike in the diatonic scale, thirds and sixths are the least informative in distinguishing smitonic modes. On the other hand, seconds, fourths and sevenths are highly informative.

Modal harmony
MODMOSes and chroma modification become more important. Use MODMOSes with SS = diminished mos3rd = 266.67¢. For example, rotations of LLLSLSS or LlSSLLS.
or 5L 1M 1S: LLMLLLS or LLSLLLM
Treat it as neutralized mavila antidiatonic?
Nejis?
- 28:30:34:38:43:46:51:56 Dagothic neji
- 14:16:17:19:23:26:28 might be a good neji smitonic chord. Adding a minor 4-mosstep, you get 28:32:34:38:41:46:52:56.
