1L 3s<3/2> (or neptunian), is a fifth-repeating MOS scale with 1 large step and 3 small steps. The name "neptunian" was given by CompactStar in analogy to "uranian" name for 3L 2s<3/2>.

Notation

Due to being a tetratonic scale, neptunian interval classes often line up with diatonic interval classes (at least for L/s < 2/1) so similar note names can be used. Although, one difference is that the "perfect fourth" can go up to a subfifth in the most extreme case.

Modes

  • 3|0 Lsss "tritonian"
  • 2|1 sLss "protean"
  • 1|2 ssLs "nereidian"
  • 0|3 sssL "larissan"

Temperaments

Poseidon

This temperament equates 2 11/8 with 5/4. It contains an 8:10:11 triad, which sounds quite similar to a major triad although with increased tension. 9edf (and thus Carlos Alpha) is a good tuning for this temperament with its accurate 5/4 and 11/8.
