This is an expert page. It either assumes experience with xen theory or involves fairly technical procedures.

A combination product set (CPS) is a scale generated by the following means:

  1. A set S of n intervals is the starting point.
  2. All the combinations of k elements of the set are obtained, and each combination is stacked together.
  3. These are combined into a set, and then one element of that set is chosen as the tonic.
  4. The resulting elements are octave-reduced and sorted in ascending order, resulting in an octave period of a periodic scale (the usual sort of scale, in other words) which we may call CPS(S, k).
