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:
- A set of chosen intervals (usually odd harmonics) is the starting point.
- All the combinations of a fixed number of intervals from the set are obtained, and each combination of intervals is stacked together. The same number of intervals is used for every combination.
- This results in a bunch of notes. One note is chosen as the tonic.
- The resulting intervals relative to the tonic are octave-reduced.
CPSes were developed by Erv Wilson.
