MOS substitution is a procedure for obtaining a ternary (3 step sizes) scale from two MOS patterns. It consists of taking one MOS pattern (called the template MOS), choosing a step size, and overwriting all instances of that step size using the step pattern of another MOS pattern (called the filling MOS).
