In the best known examples, the interval approximated is a fifth and the scale has twelve notes to an octave.

| A circulating temperament is intermediate between an equal temperament, where all of the intervals in the class are tuned the same, and a MOS scale, where for a class containing a generator all but one of the intervals are tuned the same.
| |
| | |
| One of the advantages of these tunings, is that because they are not quite equal, each chord (or key) has a slightly different character because the interval sizes have changed slightly.
