In 1986, composer Wendy Carlos introduced three unusual musical scales she
called alpha, beta and gamma, equal temperament-inspired scales that
de-emphasize the octave as the primary interval in favor of the major and minor
thirds and the perfect fifth. A derivation of the alpha, beta, and gamma scales
due to David Benson is generalized to produce many Carlos-type scales.
