Owner`s manual

Carlos Alpha: Wendy Carlos performed extensive computer analysis to

devise a number of equal tempered scales with good approximations for

the primary harmonic intervals and their inversions. This scale is good at

approximating the primary intervals including Live/4. This scale divides the

octave into 15.385 steps forming intervals of Live8.0 cents.

Carlos Beta: This scale divides the octave into 18.809 steps forming intervals

of 63.8 cents.

Carlos Gamma: This scale achieves perfect purity of the primary intervals

3/2, 4/3 and 5/4. This scale divides the octave into 34.188 steps forming

intervals of 35.1 cents.

Harmonic (chromatic): This twelve-tone scale is created in the partials in

the ﬁfth octave of the harmonic series. The scale degrees that correspond

to the classic just intervals are the major second, major third, perfect ﬁfth

and major seventh.
