Scale of the Day: C Octotonic-1 no 2 mapped to the Square-root-of-2

COctotonic-1No2MappedToTheSquareRootOf2

The C Octotonic-1 no 2 mapped to the Square-root-of-2 Scale. The subtractive variant on this Octotonic leaves an almost Dorian-esque symmetry of two quarter-tones on either side of the tonic. However, this symmetry is broken up by the 150-cent gap between the first and second degrees when compared to the 50-cent leading tone ascending toward the root.

Scale of the Day: E Flat Octotonic-1 mapped to the Square-root-of-2 1% wide

EFlatOctotonic-1MappedToTheSquareRootOf2-1PercentWide

The E Flat Octotonic-1 mapped to the Square-root-of-2 1% wide Scale. This remapping of the equal tempered octotonic scale into an interval 606-cents wide concludes a long sequence of octotonic scales in this current cycle.

Scale of the Day: E Flat Octotonic-1 mapped to the Cube-root-of-2

EFlatOctotonic-1MappedToTheCubeRootOf2

The E Flat Octotonic-1 mapped to the Cube-root-of-2 Scale. The equal tempered octotonic shrunk down to fit within an equal tempered major third. Note the alternating pattern of 66.67-cent and 33.33-cent intervals leading to a sequential pattern of 0.00, 66.67, 100.00, 166.67, 200.00, etc.

Scale of the Day: E Flat Pythagorean Octotonic-1 - Ionian Mode - mapped to the Square-root-of-2

EFlatPythagoreanOctotonic-1IonianModeMappedToTheSquareRootOf2

The E Flat Pythagorean Octotonic-1 - Ionian Mode - mapped to the Square-root-of-2 Scale. The 3-limit just intervals compressed to fit within a 600-cent "tritone" resulting in a fine-tuned variation of a quarter-tone scale.

Scale of the Day: E Flat Pythagorean Octotonic-1 - Mixolydian Mode

EFlatPythagoreanOctotonic-1MixolydianMode

The E Flat Pythagorean Octotonic-1 - Mixolydian Mode - Scale. The octotonic-1 scale spelled out in 3-limit just intonation with five otonal intervals and two utonal intervals (the 32/37 minor third and 4/3 perfect fourth in this case).
