Preset Scale types
Pitch-Related Settings
EQUAL The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each
half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in
music today.
PURE MAJOR, PURE
MINOR
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, espe-
cially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal
harmonies—such as choirs and a cappella singing.
PYTHAGOREAN This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a
series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this
tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for
some leads.
MEAN-TONE This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making
the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th
century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
WERCKMEISTER,
KIRNBERGER
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems,
which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean
scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique char-
acter. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven,
and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsi-
chord.
ARABIC1, ARABIC2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.
The tuning of each note for the cur-
rently selected scale is shown.
