Scale of the Day: E Octave Subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2 equal] 1% wide

The E Octave subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2 equal] 1% wide Scale. In practice, an equal tempered full diminished chord with intervals expanded to fit a stretched octave.

Scale of the Day: E Triative subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2 equal]

The E Triative subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/ 2 equal] Scale. In practice, this is the same as dividing the triative into four equal parts.

Scale of the Day: E Square-root-of-2 subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2 equal] inversion

The E Square-root-of-2 subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2 equal] - inversion - Scale. Like most equal divisions of an interval, the inversion of this scale is identical to its non-inverted form.

Scale of the Day: E Octave Subdivided: 2 just [2 just/2 just]

The E Octave Subdivided: 2 just [2 just/2 just] Scale. Take the octave, divide it into two just parts (that gives you the 3/2 just perfect fifth). Then divide the intervals on either side into two just parts. This gives you the 5/4 major third (to divide the 3/2 between the root and fifth) and the 7/4 minor seventh (the 7/6 of the 4/3 interval size found between the fifth and the octave). This scale happens to line up with the 4:5:6:7:8 of the overtone series - a supremely consonant seven chord.

Scale of the Day: E Square-root-of-2 subdivided: 2 equal [NULL/2 equal]

The E Square-root-of-2 subdivided: 2 equal [NULL/2 equal] Scale. The E diminished triad is again present in this scale, but this time that "tritone" is now the interval of harmonic equivalence. This means that the E natural and B flat are regarded as the same pitch-class in a true, square-root-of-2-space harmonic context.

Scale of the Day: E Octave Subdivided: 2 equal [NULL, 2 equal] - inversion

The E Octave subdivided: 2 equal [NULL/2 equal] - Inversion - Scale as one would find it on any conventionally tuned, equal tempered instrument. This is essentially an equal tempered diminished triad on E.

Scale of the Day: F Sharp Square-root-of-2 subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2 equal]

The F Sharp Square-root-of-2 subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2equal] Scale. Take an equal tempered "tritone," divide it in half, and divide the respective halves in half. This gives four consecutive 150-cent steps (an interval exactly half-way between an equal tempered minor third, or one quarter-tone less than a whole-tone) for a sequence that cycles at the "tritone."

Scale of the Day: E Octave Subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2 equal]

The intervallic content of the E Octave Subdivided: 2 equal[2 equal/2 equal] Scale. The intervallic content being extremely limited given that this scale is little more than an equal tempered full-diminished chord.

Scale of the Day: F Sharp Octave Subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal, 2 equal] - inversion

The F Sharp Octave Subdivided: 2 Equal [2 equal, 2 equal] - inversion - Scale. As an equal tempered scale of even divisions, this scale is self-inverting.

Scale of the Day: F Sharp Octave subdivided: 2 equal [NULL/2 equal]

The F Sharp Octave subdivided: 2 equal [NULL/2 equal] Scale as one would find it on any conventionally tuned, equal tempered instrument. The scale name is the formula of its origin: divide an octave into two equal parts - resulting in a "tritone" between the octave. As this is a subtractive scale, the first tritone is not divided (hence the 'NULL' value) while the second is cut into two 300-cent minor thirds - resulting in a diminished triad leading up to the tonic. This is a particularly sparse example of a scale where all the tonal energy pulls upward toward the tonic because of the relative density of notes grouped in the later half of the octave.

Scale of the Day: A Flat Octave subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2 equal]

The A Flat Octave subdivided: 2 equal [2 equal/2 equal] Scale as one would find it on any conventionally tuned, equal tempered instrument. This scale happens to trace out the harmony of the A flat diminished chord. Which is not surprising given that a sequence of equal tempered minor thirds divides the octave into four equal segments.
