very cool, I'll have to try it. Turning it into a 12-of-N
showed the following cents deviation pattern

0 0
(2) +20
3 -20
(5) 0
7 +20
8 -20
(10) 0
12 +20
(13) -20
15 0
(17) +20
18 -20

..of course, there are other ways to turn it into a 12-of-N,
but this seemed to have nice properties to explore. It has all
the goodness of 12tet dimished chords, making your scale and
modes available in four keys each, and two other scale systems.

3 4 1 4 3 3 2 (yours, neural V chord)
3 3 2 3 4 3 2 (only three step sizes, neutral I)
4 3 2 3 3 4 1 (maybe the 'best' major scale, neutral IV)

..as far as sweet, I'll turn it up a bit and give it the
'neighbors dog' test.

thanks!
