    The diatonic scale notes (above) and the non-scale chromatic notes (below) [13] Medieval theorists defined scales in terms of the Greek tetrachords. The gamut was the series of pitches from which all the Medieval "scales" (or modes , strictly) notionally derive, and it may be thought of as constructed in a certain way from diatonic tetrachords.

    12 tone equal temperament chromatic scale on C, one full octave ascending, notated only with sharps. Play ascending and descending ⓘ. An equal temperament is a musical temperament or tuning system that approximates just intervals by dividing an octave (or other interval) into steps such that the ratio of the frequencies of any adjacent pair of notes is the same.

    12-tone equal temperament chromatic scale on C, one full octave ascending, notated only with sharps. Play ascending and descending ⓘ. 12 equal temperament (12-ET) [a] is the musical system that divides the octave into 12 parts, all of which are equally tempered (equally spaced) on a logarithmic scale, with a ratio equal to the 12th root of 2 (≈ 1.05946).

  8. Chromaticity - Wikipedia

    In color science, the white point of an illuminant or of a display is a neutral reference characterized by a chromaticity; all other chromaticities may be defined in relation to this reference using polar coordinates.

  9. Tritone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritone

    For instance, the tone from C to D (in short, C–D) can be decomposed into the two semitones C–C ♯ and C ♯ –D by using the note C ♯, which in a chromatic scale lies between C and D. This means that, when a chromatic scale is used, a tritone can be also defined as any musical interval spanning six semitones: TT = T+T+T = S+S+S+S+S+S.
