Pentatonic, hexatonic, heptatonic, octatonic... what is a 12 tone scale called? This seems like a dumb question. I know it's just called the chromatic scale, but isn't there a _____-tonic name? I thought maybe dodeca-tonic. Dodecaphonic means something else, 12-tone composition.

2015年8月10日 · A scale with 7 notes, in an octave, is called a Heptatonic Scales. Heptatonic scales are further divided based on tone and semitones arrangements. If a Heptatonic scale have five tones and two semitones, where the two semitones are separated from each other by either two or three tones, then it's called Diatonic Scale or Diatonic Heptatonic Scale.

2021年2月27日 · It's important to point out that they're 7-note (heptatonic) scales, not just "gapped" scales by leaving out some notes, like a pentatonic. I ran into two of these and found their names through this StackExchange: Double harmonic, also known as Flamenco mode, which is H + H W H + H. Hungarian minor, which is W H + H H + H.

2016年8月7日 · I recently got interested in number of different heptatonic scales and their classification too. You are apparently missing a five m2, one M2 and one P4 (perfect fourth) family with 6 members. This totals to 66 heptatonic scales. The result above can …

2017年5月21日 · Bear in mind the historical context. The chromatic scale wasn't invented until the 13th century. To the Greeks, scales were composed of a series of notes above (and sometimes below) a centrism, with various intervals.

2016年11月1日 · There are other heptatonic scales. For example, the five tones and two semitones may be arranged in a different way. Or a heptatonic scale may be built out of a different combination of intervals, for example, an augmented second, three tones and three minor seconds. But then there are not so many major or minor triads among the scale's seven ...

2019年9月15日 · Also, am I using the term "degrees" correctly? For example, how many degrees in a scale like this: C Db Eb Fb Gb Abb Bbb (h W h W h W mi3rd) Is it 3, since the Fb, Abb, and Bbb are enharmonically natural notes, or is it 6, since all six notes are altered?

2022年12月24日 · To make a comparison, the diatonic scale is a specific heptatonic scale with intervals 2,2,1,2,2,2,1, and therefore 7 different modes. But there are other heptatonic scales that also have 7 modes. Likewise, there is a specific pentatonic scale with intervals 2,2,3,2,3, and therefore 5 different modes. What is that scale called?

2018年4月8日 · So it might well be argued that it's actually heptatonic but simply keeps in a small range of the scale. A hexatonic mode that's rather more natural for classical music is the “missing Ⅳ” 223221 scale. A prime example of this is the gorgeous Andante Maestoso from …

2022年2月20日 · After some investigation, it turns out many of EDOs don't admit a heptatonic scale. For 22edo as an example, it doesn't admit a heptatonic scale, but a pentatonic scale. Picking the pentatonic major mode as an example, some examples of key signatures are (+/- for one step, #/b for two steps):
