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.
