It is derived from approximating just intervals using multiples of a single interval without, as is standard in equal temperaments, requiring an octave (2:1). It may be approximated by splitting the perfect fifth (3:2) into 20 equal parts (3:2{{sup|{{frac|20}}}}≈35.1 cents),{{Citation needed|date=January 2012}} by splitting the neutral third into two equal parts, or ten equal parts of approximately 35.1 cents each ({{audio|Gamma scale step on C.mid|Play}}) for 34.188 steps per octave.[1] The scale step may also precisely be derived from using 20:11 (B{{music|U11}}, 1035 cents, {{audio|Lesser undecimal neutral seventh on C.mid|Play}}) to approximate the interval {{Frac|3:2|5:4}},[2] which equals 6:5 (E{{music|b}}, 315.64 cents, {{audio|Just minor third on C.mid|Play}}). Thus the step is approximately 35.099 cents and there are 34.1895 per octave.[2] and ({{audio|Gamma scale step on C.mid|Play}}) "It produces nearly perfect triads."[3] "A 'third flavor,' sort of intermediate to 'alpha' and 'beta', although a melodic diatonic scale is easily available."[1]
