contents

the 7 diatonic modes:

  1. Lydian

  2. Ionian

  3. Mixolydian

  4. Dorian

  5. Aeolian

  6. Phrygian

  7. Locrian

  8. The pythagorean pentatonic scale

project status

this project is still under development. I plan to expand this pack with a few more fundamental scales, but these are the most important. these may have minor inaccuracies in tuning. I plan to scrutinize these much more heavily in the future, and ensure that the ratios are optimized.
