A moderately composite 5-limit stellated hexany. This creates a scale of 1 135/128 9/8 5/4 81/64 45/32 3/2 405/256 5/3 27/16 15/8 243/128 2/1, with steps of 135/128 16/15 10/9 81/80 10/9 16/15 135/128 256/243 81/80 10/9 81/80 256/243. (5/4 and 45/32 appear twice) Since it only has 12 notes, it can be mapped to a standard keyboard, but needs to be rotated to a different mode to avoid mapping any intervals more than 100 cents away from 12edo. It has many simple consonant chords, but as it also has three syntonic comma steps, it is not particularly optimal melodically and you'll need to carefully choose which of two close steps to use in chords to get the best results.
